It seems everywhere I look, user interfaces are becoming less colorful – iOS and Windows 10 are especially guilty of this. That’s why I’ve always loved Material Design, because it encourages apps to have an eye-catching color palette. Unfortunately, some of Google’s recent redesigns (like the all-white YouTube UI in testing) are following the trend of removing colors.
