Just reloaded my work slack. For a good couple of moments I thought my clumsy fingers accidentally changed the the color balance on windows.

Indeed, I freaked out a little bit as well.

Interestingly, some Slack groups that I’m part of still have the old colors.

  Theme: Aubergine
  *(Old)* Normal Color: #4d394b
  New Background Color: #3f0e3f

Interesting to see Google is a Slack customer (google.slack.com). Thought they had a competitive product?

In hindsight, it's a shame that Google didn't put more resources into their productivity ecosystem and create a single, tightly-integrated app.

The brighter purple on the sidebar is too high contrast for my eyes. Not a fan.

You can customize the colors in your settings, and your changes apply across all platforms and devices.

I just powered on my new Pixel phone and noticed that the Slack icon was different. It took me a few minutes to figure out what happened; I thought my phone's screen was messed up! :O
