The new pastel Tapback emoji are kinda vom

[mazz0]

A little sickly, am I right?

There's something a little odd about those exact shades of color... well, except for the 💩 emoji, that one oddly enough looks completely fine.

Maybe that color palette will get improved in later betas?

I am guessing the pastel is to try and create a user connection with kids.

I imagine they had to colorize these so that they didn't look strange next to emoji reactions. That said, Why didn't they just swap them out for the respective emoji to begin with?

The softer colors may help the user better focus on the text itself, rather than the reaction? To keep things less busy?
