Change Color of Control Blocks
I'm always confusing control blocks and variables.

What color would you suggest changing them to? They seem pretty distinct from variable blocks already

2.0:

These are already distinct enough. If anything, events and control are the ones that would be confusing, and they aren't.

Maybe purple would work better?

Personally, I don't support. I can see the confusion, but in my opinion are pretty distinct already
Edit: Purple would probably me even more confusing, because the Sound and Looks category also use purple.

Actualy, I get the control blocks, event blocks, and variables messed up so i think changing one of these three would be good xD
Maybe making the control blocks and the variable blocks's colors more vibrant…

Do the colors really matter? It's not like the blocks have same names or anything

I mean some blocks have similar words in them, so maybe you could somehow mix them up?
[x position v] of (sprite1 v) :: sensing reporter
x position
clear sound effects :: sound
clear graphic effects
When it comes to Control vs Variables though, the blocks are different enough that it doesn't seem likely to mix them up

move (5) steps :: events
say [well done] for (2) secs :: events
play sound [well done v] :: events
clear :: events
wait (100) secs :: events
