Change the events blocks back to brown

MrFluffyPenguins

Currently, the events blocks are yellow, almost the exact same color as the control blocks, which makes it hard to tell where event blocks are and where control blocks are.

I feel like it would be better if they were brown, like in Scratch 2.0:

Or at least make them easier to tell them apart.

it would make it less confusing since the color of the 2 categories aren't the same color

The control blocks are noticeably more orange-tinted than event blocks. I see no reason to change the colour.

This is a mix of orange and brown

This is dark yellow

Two totally different things

How many colours do you see?

If you see 1 colour, you need glasses.
If you see 2 colours, you're correct.
If you see 5 colours, you're technically right I guess?

I made two scratchblocks that use the 3.0 colours:

Event Blocks :: #ffbf00
Control Blocks :: #ffab19

When writing it like this, the colour contrast isn't that high, and I put it in a contrast checker and got a pretty low score. It adds merit to this suggestion.
However, I can always tell the difference when I'm making a project, even if the colours are similar- maybe because of the redesign of the 3.0 blocks. (I would put an image in but my cubeupload verification email isn't arriving.)
However, it might be harder to tell the difference for colourblind people. (I'm not colourblind, so tell me if I'm wrong)
Overall, I don't know whether I support or not.

Both are yellow, but they are slightly different shades of yellow.

there are seven.

support, it would be a bit confusing but actually to way less people than last time. And it would help differentiate blocks. Like I could say “oh it's one of those yellow blocks”. And show a yellow block as a scratchblocks in the forums. It's hard to know which yellow block it is in 3.0 if you have bad eyesight.
I say the positives far outweigh the negatives here.

I always get mixed up with these! Here is why this bugs me so much, they are right next to each other on the block selector or whatever that thing is called Maybe there could be an option to switch between yellow and brown?

Did you ever think about how no suggestion is necessary?

There did used to be an Edit Block colours option- but it got removed.
Honestly, I'm more willing to support bringing that option back then directly changing a block type's main colour.

They aren't really both yellow

They are both yellow, just slightly different shades.

I still think it's a notable difference. Let me scan the colors of these and see what they are.

It's noticeable, but not that noticeable. Colorblind people might have issues but I'm not colorblind so idk
