[PLEASE DO NOT PROTEST THE PURPLE] An option in account settings to change the site's theme and navigation bar colour

Perhaps not every color should be allowed. I think a desaturation filter should be put over a color if it's too bright. I can imagine if someone makes a color that's too oversaturated and it puts a lot of strain on their eyes (Yes, they can change it, but I mean things that happen over a long period of time. Spending too long makes everything else look bland, and it can be extremely overstimulating for your eyes)

That means colors like #ff0500
would become #ff3f3b or something of that sorts
i also think there should be some sort of limit as to what colors/saturations you can pick. not only would it strain your eyes but certain colors could give you an ungodly amount of lag

How?

I think that this discussion has gone most of the places it needed to, but there's still a couple unresolved things, and we do still have a couple new ideas coming from people like @The-Sushi-Cat and @Cookiebuns.

So far, the most active parts of this discussion seem to be (and where I stand on them at the moment):

1. Where color preferences would be stored (Where I stand: I'm fine with wherever it gets stored (local or cloud), but it would be nice, as @banana439monkey said, if the preferences carried over were based on account (cloud) rather than device (local).)

2. Disallowing oversaturated colors (Where I stand: I could see putting a warning on it, but I think that's as far as it should go. I want to be able to put whatever color I want on the site, especially when it comes to the navbar. I think the warning would be enough, and, according to @mumu245 (#1534), having a super saturated red isn't actually that worse for your eyes than the white constantly shining into them by default.)

3. There was that one post from @Cookiebuns (I can't find it; maybe they got rid of it.) about changing block color in the editor, which really should've been it's own suggestion. (Where I stand: I just said that.)

Probably because it's 7 years old.

I’m just a little concerned that the 8 year old kids of Scratch would want to customize their skins, but type in ”dark orange” rather than #b35000, and then there would be a bit of confusion, but I’m sure they’ll get it if they ask someone who understands hex colours.

cough cough

I mean maybe Scratch would take dark orange as a color, but other less heard of colours like periwinkle or lavender may suffer.

CSS colours? (they use natural language like DarkSlateGrey)

[PLEASE DO NOT PROTEST THE PURPLE] An option in account settings to change the site's theme and navigation bar colour

Personally, I support.

I think the idea of customising your Scratch home page to your bidding is pretty good ngl , I also see perhaps as well as colours, a few (obviously not a lot) of pre-made patterns (polka dots?) could be available for the tabber.

You can do this: red
And many other colours. You can also use a hexadecimal value. But, isn't it unrelated ?
