Not everyone likes red, red being a better color is subjective.
As others have brought up, the current color is supposed to be accessible for people with vision issues.
Even people without vision issues (like myself) don’t like overwhelming colors sometimes.
Also I’m pretty sure this is a troll suggestion.
I do think they could add more colour schemes to improve accessibility since vision issues aren't the same for every1 and there are multiple types of colour blindness/colour vision deficiency.
For me, the purple also made it harder for me to use, even though I'm not colour blind (I can go into more detail if you ask)

What’s wrong with meat and blood and red is a sleek color choice
they both have something in common: not kids friendly
also idk which shade of red do you want

Meat is not necessarily not kid friendly, and red doesn't necessarily mean blood or meat

atomicbryght suggested:
this color of red
If it were the color shown above me, I would definitely support, because that color is really cool.

i’m assuming that the meat refers to gibs (I love using the berserk pack to punch demons)
but I do find it weird being triggered by poultry and livestock

while it’s a troll suggestion, it’s less of a troll compared to the tiger suggestion made by the same OP

Though like it's a bit of a stretch, even if that's what he's talking about

I feel as if red is more sleek and would make the website better looking thus attracting more users
we already got turbowarp we dont need another one
Red is better color if they want color blind ppl to see they can add purple feature
hey buddy thats just ur opinion scratch wanted to be blue thats their design choice they changed it to purple bc they were forced to and now ur telling me u wanna change it to red (same color as meat and blood btw) nope aint gonna happen
What’s wrong with meat and blood and red is a sleek color choice
There is A LOT of considerations when it comes to color by professional companies (in this case, Scratch Foundation). ST has to consider whether the colors help people with disabilities and take into consideration what the color symbolizes.

The problem with choosing red as the main color is that it can symbolize violence and romance (2 topics that are tend to cross the guidelines. Also btw I do NOT mean that red only symbolizes these things, it also symbolizes other things like passion, intensity, etc but I'm just saying that its also highly correlated with those 2 topics which is definitely something to take into consiferation)

Purple is correlated with things like royalty, wealth, creativity ,and wisdom

Blue is correlated with calmness, trust, confidence, and stability

same which is why I switched to blue but nonetheless these are considerations to take in when this shows for everyone who uses normal scratch. I'd honestly think this suggestion would be a bit better so anyone can change the color to whatever they like.

Please, anything but purple.

They weren’t forced to change to purple, it only needed more contrast, they could have just used darker blue, there is no way colourblind people can’t distinguish between white and dark blue, or even just let us set the colour ourself. They chose the colour purple to make a big thing about how inclusive they are.

And it really annoys me because I am very easily annoyed >:(

Edit: Also, who cares what the colour symbolises? Red is red is red, yeah it often symbolises evil, so what? can we not have red things anymore?

I feel like changing the site color was mandatory for accessibility for the colorblind.
Also red may be a more unwelcoming color for new Scratchers. That said, I still do like red, but it could actually be unwelcoming for some now that I think about it

this is why there should be an option to change the color to whatever you want in account settings, i think there was a suggestion about that but scratchpost is down so i can't find it

If they make the Scratch cat red, then Scratch cat will be seen as evil (since rebranding it from orange or purple to red)
