Why the kumquat were custom blocks changed from dark purple to pink in 3.0???
Purple is my favorite color. You've heard me right. Even though we got SOME purple on pride day 2023, that didn't include custom blocks. And statistically, dark purple is generally better for your eyesight than bright pink because it is less likely to cause eye strain and visual fatigue.
define pink is an absolute strain to our poor eyes
I hope you hear me, scratch team::list

(#3)It was probably hard for some people with colour-blindness to distinguish the difference between Looks and Custom blocks. I think that's why it was changed from purple to pink.but looks are purpleBut the dark-purpleness of the custom blocks are distinct from the bright-purpleness of the looks blocks.switch costume to ( v)

I like the pink ones. The Scratch 2 blocks were pretty ugly, I remember using it when I was in fifth grade. I think pink blocks is worth the reduced lag of Scratch 3…

To be more friendly with other block colors if you think about it.
I feel like Scratch 3.0s purpose was to look modern, colorful and easy to use for children. That's why the blocks are so light colored, kids like light colors.

when green flag clickedThese blocks are really light yellow. This may be why pink was chosen.

They're pink?
I musst be colorblind.
Probably because black text doesn't contrast well with purple.
