Scratch Cat's outline

Supernoodles99

I'm confused as to why scratch cat's outline isn't solid black, but instead a dark navy blue.
What's the reason for this?
I know it's more than likely just a design choice, but if there's more reasons, please let me know!

It’s possible that they decided upon it to make Scratchy look a bit more colorful, without a noticeable difference.

I don't think so, it feels more intentional. How they would even make the mistake is beyond me.

Dealing with colors in the default paint editor is finicky so it's no wonder.

I don’t call 3 colors particularly colorful.

It is full of color though, and 3 colors is definitely more than 2, 1, or no colors, right?

I think they want it to have color, but i don't know why they wanted to lol

It's probably intentional; in Scratch 2.0 it was a dark grey colour.

Navy Blue is the best color in existence. /offtopic

To make it more colorful

Scratch Cat is probably created with Sketch. Here's the start of the Scratch Cat SVG:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="95.17898101806641" height="100.04156036376953" viewBox="0.3210171699523926 0.3000000357627869 95.17898101806641 100.04156036376953" version="1.1" xml:space="preserve">

It also has IDs, which Scratch doesn't provide, and as you can see, is also formatted.
Other costumes, like Dog2-a, also have IDs, but don't have these attributes:
