They are killing the Blue color for purple everywhere

I remember liking blue as a kid, but later getting to hate it. I eventually realized that the hate was because I associated it with the Facebook logo. I can understand if everyone is moving away from it, because of that.

Microsoft Teams is in my opinion a dark horse in a variety of areas where they refuse to align with the Windows OS team's choices. I sure wish they would, though, Teams has really inconsistent UX and I never really expect stuff to be wherever they put it. Also, the bugs on the message input field are tiresome, I've never had an application stop acknowledging arrow L & R in a text editor before.

Purple is in.

The purple is goddamn everywhere and it sticks out like a sore thumb on OLED screens. Look at YouTube app error illustrations.

Designers are more of a sheep than they would like to admit.

> Google is doing the same

Is this an A/B test thing? For me, Google still uses #1a73e8 and #1a0dab, both blue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Facebook is still as blue as ever :)
