Did anyone on the Scratch Team bother to try a dark blue?

They didn’t, but since the Scratch Wiki nav bar is purple, then I guess they went with dark purple instead.

Pretty sure all they need to do is to put in some java which changes the CSS

Also be nice to change the default color to any color

This would make things look better and there would be more individuality.
Would you be able to change the taskbar colour in the dark theme, though?
Because I think navy blue would look awesome with the dark theme.
Wow, that does look cool!

#TeamBlue, it's just WAY too iconic to leave.
Oh yeah, and other colours would be fine too.

I guess I'll link it. There is a reason why the blue interface is gone: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/User:Jvvg/Essays/Accessibility_preempts_aesthetics
I get that it's iconic and all, but personally I've seen the interface for 1 year and 8 months (Again, I'm an alt. My main is in plain sight in my signature as well.) and I'm personally not really caring about this change.
I also support this suggestion, simply just I cannot understand why people are mad on the change. Iconic, sure. But there's still alot to consider.
They get sued or they try their best to avoid that situation, PERIOD.
No if-s, no else-s.
I'm just pointing this out as people really just get mad without seeing why they did it in the first place.

It seems that blue is fine for other huge platforms, such as facebook, twitter, outlook, etc.

I don't understand why you think blue is not OK for Scratch. Are they all going to get sued too?

The best solution obviously is to make it optional.

Not saying blue is not alright for Scratch. I infact didn't say it in my sentences. I have zero problem with it, and never said it isn't alright for Scratch. Simply pointing the fact that either they get sued without the attempt of staying on a small brick considering their limited resources. I myself was abit mad when I first heard the change, but then realized jvvg's essay and just decided to go with it, and I still am.
Difference with those platforms is that they aren't for education, Scratch is. Which is what this law mentions if you look at it's wikipedia page.
I also never mentioned I liked the purple more.
People are adding a purple shade over their profiles for the memes.

There is no mention of education on this site.. https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/

Okay, this should be implemented when the skin is pushed to the whole site, but here are a few reasons why this should happen:

Scratch Wiki:
The wiki has it. Why shouldn't we have it?

A nice feature:
It gives users the freedom to break free from the blue and use a colour they may prefer

Simple:
It's somewhat simple. All you need to do is have a box requesting a colour code, or a colour name and it inputs it into a variable. That then extracts to the navigation bar and text colour.

Okay, but what if someone's set it to light grey, or white?
Then the site would automatically notice and change the text colour and colour of the messages and my stuff buttons on the navigation bar to black.

What about the default colour? What would it be?
Good question there. It would be the colour we have now. #855cd6 - purple. The text would automatically be in this text box.

What if a user is logged out?
It works the same as the wiki. You can't change it when logged out.

Use extensions!!!
Okay, there are people who are lazy in this world. Aside from being lazy, those extensions are only local, they don't apply to everywhere. I want to see this being quick and simple to set. I want to be able to log into a library all the way over in London (I live in the West Midlands) and still immediately see Scratch in dark theme as soon as I log into it. No tooling around or anything. Long story stort, I'm a productivity guy. When doing things, I find the quickest way to do it to save time, because it matters!

Lemme elaborate even more:
An option in account settings to change the skin's colour. This text box's contents, when applied will be imported into a variable and the text colour and navigation bar would change to that colour. This text box should also be accompanied by a colour picker that includes the full sRGB colour spectrum (thanks kenny2scratch for the idea). A list of pre-sets could be given for the user to click on, in order for that user to select a colour of their choice (although the comprehensive sRGB colour picker should absolutely still be present; thanks Vetzlan for the idea).That's pretty simple, right? Right so far. On top of that, though another suggestion, it's still concerning the skin itself. Here's an example screenshot of the homepage with another colour:

Anyway, here's my other idea. Dark theme. In account settings, there would be an option to switch to and from dark theme and light theme. Here's a screenshot of dark theme:

Here's a guide of the colours used:
Non-links/navigation bar links: #ffffff
Section headers: #24292e then #000000
Links: default
Background/section backgrounds/footer: #24292e

It also may be an idea to introduce this to the editor as well, since it's as (if not more) important as the website itself. The whole theme would synchronise across the whole site including the editor.

If you do get the option to actually log into the 3.0 offline editor (which would be cool), it would be cool to synchronise this idea to there.

Thoughts?
