Google Showing Colorful Line Separators In Mobile Search Results Snippets

Do you see the new Google mobile interface in the search results? Google colored line breaks instead of the gray colored line breaks.

Many mobile searchers on iOS and Android are noticing Google testing a new mobile interface where instead of showing a gray line separator between the mobile search snippets, they are showing colorized lines, in Google colors.

Here is a before and after screen shot from Android Police:

More and more mobile searchers are seeing this look in their mobile search results interface. I personally cannot replicate this on my iOS devices but many people are seeing this. This may signal that this is not necessarily a test but something Google has decided to roll out to all mobile users and the roll out is taking time to propagate fully to everyone.
