Make Premiere, Audition, and AE icons different colors again
Until this recent update, it was very easy to look at a file and know if it's a Premiere, Audition, or AE File because the icons were different colors. Now that they're all purple, it's a lot harder to tell what type of file I'm looking at, especially if it's a small icon. There also seems to be no benefit to the average user for this change. Please change icons back to their previous colors or any other colors that aren't exactly the same.

This is sorely needed, II regularly click on Media Encoder or After Effects by mistake when I want to launch Premiere.

Wondering the same Tom. The time it took them to read and merge these threads is probably more time than it would have taken them to revert to the previous icons everyone prefers! :(

Adobe just merged a whole bunch of the same feedback about the icons into this one feedback post.. yet gave no indication of it being under review. Why do you do this
Who's betting they'll just intentionally keep it like this until next year when they have a fresh start across all their products and have some cheesy line like "missed us?" with original colours all restored. -

A sign of good design is when it's easily recognizable and quickly communicates what it needs to say. The Adobe suite icons do neither of these things.

Yes it is true that the colors allow you to click very quickly without paying attention to the icon. It's a little extra.
Now sometimes I open an app and inadvertently cheat -

Just saw that Acroba is back to Red. That is a relief! (It was black!). Now the DVA products.

Dear God, yes, please! I don't know what they were thinking.

Second that. It's confusing when I can't quickly tell apart the software I use. I've been trying to find ways to manually change them.

Compromise idea: If you really need to use color for branding instead of UX, please at least make the icons significantly different shapes. This might be better anyway for people with forms of colorblindness.

I absolutely agree, in my case, it's also Adobe Animate, I often open the wrong program.

100% agreed... all of the nearly same colors for apps is TERRIBLE! I liked the rainbow of apps. Now we have all "similar" apps being super similar colors? what's that about. ugh.

Not to mention their icon theme does not honor Windows 10 start menu color themes. Notice the "Sore Thumb" in the attached image where the background color doesn't comply with all other icon's on the start menu.

This happens to me all the time with Dreamweaver and XD as well. So annoying.
