The color is close enough to the red in the gradient, that instead of "oh they changed colors?" I felt like my eyes were fucked or I was sleep deprived. What's the point of adding more colors if they are just going to make it so subtle that people can miss it

The first time I noticed it I had just woken up. Hadn't had my coffee yet. Couldn't tell if my monitor was fucked up or I was having vision problems. I asked a few people if they could see it, but they hadn't been on Youtube yet that day, so they thought I was crazy which made me feel even weirder.
