Discord changes and accessibility.

Being active on Twitter and within a lot of servers on Discord, many people have discussed how the new colors have really changed their ability to use the app/program. I see less problems with the logo and font change, and more with the colors. Color blind people, those who are sensitive to brighter colors, and just generally those with disabilities have been actively talking about how much easier the platform was to use before the update. The colors are too much, and many were just fine with how Discord was before. There's less worry about the logo and more about how people literally can't use Discord anymore because of the color changes. I personally believe that the old colors were perfect the way they were.

Agreed - it seems the new "Blurple" on black doesn't meet WCAG Guidelines for color contrast (for some text) - this is more of a website problem than an app problem. I'll be curious to test it out once the update lands on my PC. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the palette though.

Surprising you've gone this long without accessibility experts, Discord.
