Is there ANYTHING that people won't complain about? (2)



It was a small change that prompted a big reaction on social media.

And now a Spotify executive has revealed why the app icon colour was changed to a lighter, brighter green - and which shades narrowly missed the cut.

Paul Moulton, head of copy at the music streaming service, said a huge team scrolled through more than 5,000 shades - some of which were immediately dismissed as reminiscent of Kermit or Shrek.

But after several months of research the decision was unanimous and Spotify chose the colour they thought would 'pop' and reflect the 'emotional' element of music.

Despite this, hundreds of users took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the change with some saying the 'alien green' colour makes them want to 'kill themselves'.
