This purple color everywhere is looking vulgarly excessive, causing eyesore to me. MS Teams refuses to adapt system theme. Search engines changed link color to purple (unvisited). Bing links are dark purple. Google is doing the same. Are they killing the pleasant blue color? What's happening?

To me, that's a washed out blue, not purple.

#4Microsoft 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.

Why does that look absolutely horrid on my screen... Not that it is anything special, but cheap gaming monitor... And I can't link single word they present to it...

#7The 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.

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

#10I 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.
