Filter button colors

When you select In Collection or On Order, the display of the icon/button is orange instead of the colors you see for those icons in the selection drop down.

Yes, this is intentional.

This was done because the blue of “in collection” is just about the same as the blue of the app - so people were not noticing a “filter was on” - and getting confused as they didn’t see all items. So we turned that one into a bright orange color.

The “On Order” filter color is also a darker blue - same story.

Once we changed this we had considerably less emails about people losing items (while actually just having a filter switched on).

Thanks for the information.

The orange color confuses me because visually I think I’ve selected the Wantlist filter by mistake.

That is indeed something I’ve heard 2 or 3 times since these colors were updated. We might update the color at some point to always be the same for all, or give them more distinctive colors.

Right now, it is “yellow” - versus indeed the “orange” from wish list. But I give you that they are indeed similar.
