new color is very harsh and uncomfortable to look at

Lice
the new color is too bright, it physically hurts to look at. such bright and saturated colors cause eyestrain and headache. i'll have to uninstall discord because this has already happened even though this update was out a short time ago. please do something about that, wether you go back to the old version or just make it optional.

    I'm having the same issues. I had to essentially go against TOS and get a theme to make discord more usable.

    Personally I don't care much for the logo but when changes impact usability that's an issue. Even something as simple as the reddit banner causes eye strain. My eyes haven't been this fatigued in a while.

    Even the @ causes eye strain with the harsh colours it uses. It's... a highlight colour. Previously it looked like a hyperlink, and was softer on the eyes. Now Discord is going for harsh on the eyes and unfriendly.

    Best solution is reverting the theme changes, second best is adding a theme for before rebrand. Just for the sake of accessibility at the very least.

    I noticed that Discord replied to someone’s concerns about accessibility with a feedback form about this. I filled it out already, so I hope others in do and share it with friends as well to let them know how inaccessible and garish the new colors, font, etc. are for users.

    Link to their tweet about it: https://twitter.com/discord/status/1392869194413355009
    Link to their Google form feedback itself: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTzNbITTRx4BYWFlC3gi_lEi3D3rsa9VCBK_EphF5myDb7uw/viewform

    They claim accessibility is taken very seriously, so let’s be sure to inform them of how difficult these new changes are for people.
