If high contrast blocks can be optional, why can’t scratch’s color pallet be optional?
Contrast blocks were made an optional style due to user feedback wanting them to be optional as they made the site LESS accessible for some people, or some just didn’t like it as much as the original.
The purple color pallet has made the site less accessible for many people and many have suggested the option to have the blue color pallet for all who prefer it or have an even harder time seeing with the new color.
If the block color pallet is optional, why can’t the same be done for the website’s color? How is the color of the website more difficult to code than block styles, what’s the difference?
If Scratch wants to focus on accessibility, they really should find a way to have multiple website themes as some pallets are even HARDER for some to see rather than making it easier. Why can one be done but not the other?

I'm not a moderator, but it seems like it would take a lot more time to add something that changes the color of the header (and everything purple on the site, such as links) than it would to add a toggle for a feature that is just for the blocks in the editor.

if Unnamed Suggestion can do it with a couple clicks, Scratch should be able to.

Also, moderators dont develop the site.
