As you all know scratch from day one was blue but now they have finally decided to change it to purple but some bits on the website is not updated so it is still blue I am going to miss blue but what do you think about this update it is finally happened now

The specific color of purple was chosen as a practical one, as the Scratch Team determined through research that it is the color which is the most helpful for those with vision impairments. So the color change is all for the sake of improved accessibility. This means that more people will be able to use Scratch!

it just changed to blue for me

Because it helps people with eye problems ig

That is for people that are colorblind.

But can we have the option to change it back for people who don’t like purple (like me)?

There is a suggestion to change it here.

yes, the ST choose this because more people can enjoy scratch, but i think we should be given an option in account settings that allows us to change it back.

I think there should be a toggle for this feature. : D-\
I will & always will love the blue-theme of Scratch.

It actually helps people with colorblindness, but some of the stuff are blue like the loading screen for projects and the blue thing on top of your forum post

I’m not so liking this purple although I do like that it is now Clemson colors. I think blue looks better but that’s just my opinion. I’m fine with it but I still don’t want it to be purple.

Also my screen is lagging since the new update. Hopefully they can fix that soon.

I'm going to miss blue because everything is now purple everything's now purple, which is really suprising me soon I'll change my PFP to a purple themed profile.

from [ blue]

switch color to [purple]

ohh that makes sense now

it's for people who are colorblind cuz they see purple as the blue we used to see i think………

There should be an option to change it to other colors.
To make it simpler maybe they could just have like 10 options or something if they want… and a dark theme too
One of the options should be blue

I honestly really like the new purple menus. they're very fitting for the platform, and my favorite color is purple! but nothing can beat the original blue and orange tho.

Honestly I think making this mandatory is an awful idea

I'm all for being more accessible, but why not make it toggelable
or why not make it where ur able to change the color yourself?

Don't force everyone to switch, that's stupid

same with forcing everyone to change to the new bad color scheme, make it toggleable

So, How can I turn purple to blue?
