As a European, I cannot make any sense of the low-contrast pictograms in "modern" software (VS Code, Obsidian, etc.).

Ironically, Visual Studio introduced monochrome icons in the early 2010s, and the protestations were so deafening that they introduced colours back in.

Fast-forward a decade, and nobody even bats an eye. I also struggle visually navigating around VSCode when I'm not using a keyboard, but we seem to be a minority.
