Color Consistiencies in Accessibility Update List
This is a really small one, but the languages image in the About page is still blue

(Had to host the image myself because apparently scratch itself is blocked by the image host whitelist)

On purpose in this context (from what I interpreted) as they haven't gotten to it yet, as opposed to just forgetting about it.(#244)What do you mean?

The starter PfP and studio image are both also still blue, though this could be a tough fix.

Wrong, just change the image file the API sets when making a new studio or account. The starter PfP and studio image are both also still blue, though this could be a tough fix.

Color Consistiencies in Accessibility Update List
When Scratch changed the color scheme from blue and orange to purple and red and to green to dark green, many things were left behind, I know https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/post/7340927/ exists but.. it only shows examples of scratch forgetting to change the purple to blue, but what about pointing out things scratch forgot to change to red and more examples of green to dark green? This suggestion is to point out the errors and suggests a change.
Orange < Red
1. The unread messages span.
Now this one is semi noticeable if they do change it to red, I'm talking about the thing where it's on your messages button and it says “1”, "2', and so on, but it's not #c40, so it should be changed to #c40 to help match with accessibility and the messages page.
2. The border on a textarea that gave an error.
Now this one is noticeable if they do change it to red, I'm talking about the thing where if you put bad words or leave it blank on a 3.0 textarea, it shows an error but the textarea shows a orange border, so it should be changed to #c40 to help match with accessibility.
3. The comment errors.
Now this one is noticeable if they do change it to red, I'm talking about the thing where if you post an empty comment or something goes wrong your commenting to quickly, it shows an error but shows a orange background, so it should be changed to #c40 to help match with accessibility.
Green < Dark Green
4. Studio errors.
Now this one is noticeable if they do change it to dark green, I'm talking about the thing where if you add a project via url or you added it already in a studio, an error but shows a light green background, so it should be changed to dark green to help match with accessibility.

Orange is pretty much Scratch's color. I don't think they'll give up that.
As for a change from green to dark green, I seem fine with it.
Semi-support.
Edit: Oh wait I completely forgot that these changes were already in effect but just missed out on, i'm stupid lol

Remember, the message count in the messages page was orange, they changed that, also the errors for comments that showed up as a tooltip was orange, they also changed it. Orange is pretty much Scratch's color. I don't think they'll give up that.

1. These count as bugs, as they are cases where certain things were missed in the update.
2. That makes this a dupe of https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/694234/

I did mention number 2 in the OP, but it only shows how scratch forgot to change from blue to purple, this suggestion points out the other colors. 1. These count as bugs, as they are cases where certain things were missed in the update.

I think the comment errors could also just use the scratchr2 color, have no idea why it was changed to orange in the first place. Also, the thing that you linked did have stuff besides blue and purple, it was meant for the accessibility update in general.
I think there should be an option to use the scratchr2 blue, as colorblind people and people that often get headaches have stated that the purple has caused issues, and there should be separate block colors for different types of colorblindness as a preset.
