Let’s bring blue back as a option, for some scratches (like me) who aren’t colour blind think the colour is really bright and hard to look at

LETS BRING BACK BLUE AT https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/870359421

This suggestion is rejected, meaning that it will not be implemented.

7.14 Revert the purple color palette back to blue
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. That is, the color change is important for the sake of improved accessibility, which means that more people will be able to use Scratch. For more information on the Scratch Team's process that led to the purple color palette, see this post.

However, an option to customize the color palette is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

Do you think it would be fair to ask the Scratch Team to throw away all their hard work on this new update just because you don't like the colour. Or do you think it would be fair to revert this update, which was designed to make it easier for Scratchers with certain vision impairments to use the site?

They said that it would be an option, though it's a duplicate of the one linked there.

Reverting it is not an option that the Scratch team is considering. Adding another feature which would allow users to select the theme colour has been suggested here and seems like it might be under consideration by the Scratch Team based on the fact that it is stickied.

I’m not saying that we should just get rid of this update there should be a option to still have blue

I meant that they said it would be an option, as in you would be able to have the purple or the blue, and I said it was a duplicate of the one linked there.

It looks like this is a duplicate topic of this one over here so I'll close it to keep the conversation all in one place.
