That’s why css names should be semantic. I’m sure it started actually purple until UX said “can we make this primary text more blue so it doesn’t look like a clicked link?” Replacing all references to “purple” wasn’t an option because of unrelated usage of that word elsewhere and they weren’t using an IDE capable of contextual rename of a css class. So they just changed the color code and called it a day.

  Tip of the iceberg. I’m perplexed about every 30 minutes working on this codebase.

  My guess is that this tactical tornado here didn’t know the difference between a span and a div

Set up something to change all fonts to Comic Sans before you leave. That’s all the help I can offer you, OP
