On the new practice page, a new character will turn red if you get it wrong, I miss that soothing blue:)

Yup, blue was taken for the "too easy" score. We experimented with using a lighter red for it, but some thought it too confusing to have two colors for the same score. I did like the soothingness, though.

Well, I don't know what other people think, but I did like the blue. It doesn't have to be blue, any color would work, its depressing seeing red all the time for characters you don't know.

Perhaps no color? Like gray? Though I'm sure you guys have been over things like this an innumerable number of times. I definitely liked the blue but agree that it's better suited for showing when you're communicating that a word was too easy.

I did notice that you have the "Still Learning" text off to the side, which is a good compromise.

I like the red. It makes me feel a little bad, and hence more motivated to remember.
