I'm seeing a lot of purple in interfaces lately. Not complaining, not in the least. But just curious if anyone has any insight as to if my perception is true and, if so, why.
@ntnsndr I’m…guilty of this in my design work right now! 🟣🟪💜😅
This is just guesswork based on my own usage, but I think it’s the natural result of blue being very overused (Twitter, Facebook) and designers seeking something that pops against white without any extremely strong preexisting associations (so red for love/aggression and green for nature are out, for instance).
EDIT: and looking at my purple Ice Cubes app, I realize it works great as a background for white text too!
