# One palette, every tool wearing its own color

> The app now shares one refined palette with our website, each tool keeps one signature color, and the interface type is upgraded for long reading sessions.

Alfred Scholar's workspace has been retuned end to end so the app, the website, and every email you receive from us speak the same visual language.

## What changed

- Each tool now keeps one signature color everywhere it appears. Loops is always its warm red, Citations its amber-orange, Telescope its green, Ask Alfred its teal, Second Brain its sky blue, whether you see them in the sidebar, a page header, the command palette, or an upgrade card. No more spotting the same feature in two different colors on one screen.
- Dark mode moved from a blue-tinted night to calm neutral greys, the same dark canvas as our website, which is easier on the eyes over long sessions.
- Buttons, links, and focus outlines settled on one deeper, steadier blue with clearer contrast in both themes.
- The interface typeface was upgraded, and code and citation keys now render in a proper monospaced face instead of borrowing the text font.
- Exported PDFs, plagiarism reports, and transactional emails were retuned to the same palette, so what leaves the app matches what you see inside it.
- The command palette can now jump straight to Telescope and Loops.

## What stays the same

Nothing moved and no feature changed. This is a consistency pass: the product simply agrees with itself, from the first pixel of the loading screen to the last page of an exported PDF.
