Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,735 Pointsnew paint job
I don't completely understand the logic of the new paint job. There are fewer colors now, and some of the colors seem very similar or maybe the same. Front End and Design seem to be slightly different shades of blue. Fundamentals and Data both seem to be kind of purple-ish. It seems to be muddying the waters rather than providing clarity. I don't understand how this helps accessibility.

I liked the old theme better, but it is time for it to retire (If Treehouse keeps coming up with new topics, soon they will run out of different colors to assign each topic to!)

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsI miss the old colours too but I think the new colours work well, particularly as there's a lot of courses that overlap certain topics. This category grouping solves a lot of that. They also give us a lot of guidance about how topics relate to each other. Which for example is a back end technology and which is front end? Where do you want to go if you want to learn about how to design? Soon we'll have a better idea of where we need to go... what our choices are!
