Discord's 'Blurple' was originally #7289DA when the platform launched in 2015 — a softer, more muted blue-violet. The 2021 rebrand updated it to the more saturated #5865F2 to feel more energetic and modern. The name 'Blurple' (a blend of blue and purple) became official Discord brand vocabulary and is now widely used in the developer community to refer to this exact shade.
Blurple is reserved for primary UI actions, the logo, and brand surfaces. The supporting greens, yellows, reds, and fuchsias map to user status: green = online, yellow = idle, red = do not disturb, fuchsia = streaming. Discord's dark mode uses near-black surfaces (#36393F, #2F3136) with Blurple as the only accent color.
