I was casually looking at my phone this morning, and realized the Google Authenticator user logo is a perfect illustration for my form of colorblindness.
While I'm lumped into the general "red-green" colorblind category, it represents as a weakness in red receptors for me (that is, colors differentiated by red). The lack of resolution means I see subtle deviations as just a flat splotch of the same color.
So this morning I went "wait, is that purple and slight orange and I never noticed"?
(Slight edit, too lazy to redraft: Google Authenticator app logo. Not sure how that came out as user, but I'm sleepy and still sipping coffee.)
@Goldkin still not sure why they decided that was the right logo design to go with to replace the old logo for that app.
And I still don’t like the “all the icons have all the Google colors in them” designs. I get why they did that (for brand cohesion), but the same color patterns are not the only way to do it, and for me it makes it more difficult to distinguish individual apps from one another.
It's not, thankfully (I color-pickered it to read the exact values), but _were_ it for the upper right and lower right sections, the fact it looks like a uniform splotch is kind of how things look for me.
And if they included a blend of yellow to green, same issue really.
This is all to say, awhile ago someone (you know who you are) commented I might be a chartreuse dragon and not know it, and without special tools, I still can't entirely refute that. >..>
