Scratch is changing it’s colors from orange and blue to orange and purple

This is supposed to help the color contrast for color blind people

I think the change is for a good cause, but it’s still sad.

Thoughts?

Matches the wiki

I haven’t actually checked scratch for what purple they use but I know the wiki uses purple

Now, I hope for a toggle

but the primary audience of scratch I guess is new users which happen to be children and I don’t think they’ll care because kids are much more accepting of other people than adults are.

there will be a toggle for the block colors at least 😌

I think it will look worse but I understand it’s a big issue as scratch could’ve been sued for not being colourblind friendly - hopefully an option to customise the navbar will be good for the future

Scratch wouldn’t have gotten sued, who would sue them? I don’t think they would have gotten fined at all. Accessibility isn’t a requirement.

kinda bittersweet, but at least the block color change will be optional 😥

Wait you’re actually a scratch user? What’s your account?

it’s a secret 🤫 (my scratch account is semi-connected to my identity which i don’t want to share here 😉)

If you don’t mind saying… are you a forumer?

not really, but I sometimes answer questions if I have free time

but I have 900+ followers, which is cool I guess 🤷‍♂️
