Adobe CC needs to change the colors for the app icons

I use a Macbook Pro for video editing, and in my dock where I am able to quickly launch software, Adobe has made the colors of the suite of software I use regularly almost the same color. I suggest using different colors. This is a small pet peeve of mine, but wanted to suggest this improvement.

You know you can manually change the app icons on Mac and Windows if you want?

It would certainly be easier for most users, I would think. How many of us routiunely used more than two or three CC apps?

 

Although, as someone who does use a fair number of the apps, keeping track of the various colors might not be so easy as for someone who uses two or three.

 

What they seem to have done is grouped the apps by color ... pro video is putple, stills photography blue, graphic desing that yellow/orange mashup ... so I suppose the design consideration was to unify "famlies" of apps for easier identification.

I understand you.

They used to be different colours but Adobe changed them in CC...

Notice something there? 

 

The video apps use the same color type. If you had Lightroom showing, it would also be blue.

 

And if you had InDesign, I think it would match the Illustrator icon there.
