Done Status Category & Other Shared Design Element Color

I gave some in-tool feedback, but realized I should probably start discussions here.  Wondering if others have noticed this and have any thoughts.

 

The shade of green on Done status category statuses and status bars is muted in some places and a little jarring in others (both dark and light modes).

In Dark Mode it is inconsistent up in the workflow status when it is the set status compared to linked issues, child issues, status of subtasks, etc. Seems like you are trying to get it a little more consistent between themes, but the first reaction on that shade of green was not as pleasant for a resolved work item and has inconsistencies in different places (I have used that color while coding in IDEs and it seemed to fit, but for some reason seemed a little out of place here). I realize this may be preference and that you probably did some accessibility studies, but bringing it up since it does not seem aligned everywhere right now.  Is it possible to use something more like Seafoam green for those design elements with black text for consistency and readability?

That would fit with the changes of the "In Progress" color (which seems more readable and improved) and would be more pleasant & motivating on work items.

 

Other design elements are more pleasant, but they may be following the older style:

Other visuals have a better green, but maybe muting to seafoam for accesibility achieves what you want.png

Suggesting that something more like seafoam or similar can help with your accessibility goals and also keep a more uplifting feeling for work, but also wanted to point out where it is different between sections right now.  Thanks!

Hello @Greg D

I agree - From my perspective, inconsistencies in the green color for the "Done" status category across different UI elements can impact readability and user experience.

Using a more universally pleasant color like seafoam green could improve accessibility and create a cohesive design.
