It's part of the new brand identity.

Thank you for sharing that but too bad it doesn't really explain why they changed the Dreamweaver icon color so drastically. I suppose it isn't really that important but I do know the answer to one thing for sure. I now have to "evolve" my work habits to stop clicking new Dreamweaver icon when I really mean to open InDesign. At least imho, the new Dw Icon has more in common with the old Id icon than the new Id icon does. Maybe it's just the old saying in action: Variety is the spice of life? 😉

I guess Adobe's branding agency needed to justify their existence.

Personally, I don't care much for the new Adobe "warmer red." I think it has all the subtlety of a 5 alarm fire. And if you ask me, the new borderless icons look anemic and indistinguishable.

The high contrast green on green that we all know & love has been assigned to Aero, Captivate, Captivate Prime, Connect & Dimension. What do those 6 products have in common? No idea.

Pink on burgundy is the new color scheme for Adobe XD, Muse and Dreamweaver.

While Animate and Edge Animate are frequently used for web projects, they share colors with video products like Premier. Why? No idea.

So if you're looking for a cohesive explanation for the new color choices, I don't think there is one. Draw your own conclusions.
