I use MDN heavily every day and this is really depressing. When I first landed on a fresh page today I thought I'd clicked on the wrong link and got some low-rent MDN knockoff by accident. It instantly looked cheap and jarring on a squint test.

Also, why is everything error-toned? Red is a danger color and invokes negative emotion almost universally. Red MDN!? Really?

I'm a browser extension developer and I'm strongly considering burning a week to write an extension to fix this.

It's not all red. They've color-coded each page by whether it's about HTML (red), CSS (blue), Javascript (orange), HTTP (green), or Web APIs (purple). The Web Technology section is also blue for some reason.

Why would they do that, what's the point beyond confusion? The whole thing is bad

Oh, thats why the colors change. It actually hurts my eyes when jumping from link to link. So far, the purple is the worst (makes it hard to read).
