Thank you put here graphically the UI issues. I don't think they hear us, they don't care about our opinions, if we read this from they home page:Opera offers a complete web experience you can’t get from system defaults such as Chrome, Safari and Edge.
Pity, Opera was my browser for years, now, I cannot simply use it, on my work laptop I cannot install it due to AI feature ...
Sad, sad, sad !
I thought they wanted to build something efficient and reliable, but they go for fancy ... they did a futuristic GUI (which nobody likes) instead of efficient browser.

Printscreen, place into photo editor, it'll tell you the exact RGB value.
Not to argue what is blue or purple, just to make sure we are on the same page.
Photoshop pulls color="#5818f8" for all Opera purple visible.
Iris is a screen color app I use for nighttime or low-light environments. Usually dropping temperature from 6500K to ca. 3900K.
Warmer screen color temperature makes the color we are discussing look more purple, but it does not influence the value Photoshop gets.

Hi! My Opera just updated to Opera One and the appearance has changed a lot, but I just don't feel comfortable with it and was wondering if there's a way to go back to the previous one. What makes me dislike it so much is how the sidebar was alterated (why are the icons so crammed?? and whats with the transparent like square surrounding the messengers?), the horrible new highlight color (kind of a vibrant blueish puple? I really liked the calm blue I had right before the update to Opera One!) and how the tabs feel smaller, many things feel quite smaller actually! This isn't efficient, and it's quite a bother to randomly have everything look so different when I'm trying to do my stuff as normal. It would be totally fine if we could choose the appearance, I'd simply pick the one I had before this bothersome update, but it seems that isn't the case. It would be really nice if we could choose tho, I felt so calm and happy with my browser and I really don't want to change it again now that everything feels so intense and uncomfortable, kind of out of order I guess? And it seems I'm not the only one who despises this new appearance. It would be very appreciated if you'd listen to us and give a solution or an alternative, thank you very much!

@vegm What I did. 1) I downloaded the installer for the previous version, 2) I made a shortcut to it, 3) copied the shortcut to the taskbar. Everytime I start up my PC I start (old (work-)) Opera from that icon. NB: that wil put a second, regular icon on the taskbar. One should not use that at startup, for it wil autoload the new (distraction-/play-) version with intrusive noisy intro and candy store colors.

5021FF is what I got from the examples given by others, I hadn't actually checked mine since I stopped it at version 99. I'll go check another machine.... 80/33/255 for all three blue bits I can see here:
Not sure why everyone keeps speaking in hex, I'll convert. I get 50/21/FF, the same as the other guy earlier in the thread. So a bit less red and bit more blue than you. I guess your Iris thing is adjusting things and making the blue more purple. And it seems to be affecting photoshop. If it's changed what's on the screen, it'll change your screenshot you're pasting into Photoshop.

Screenshots in Windows OS do not work that way and Photoshop is a color managed environment. Iris was anyways turned off.
I also get 5021ff from your sample.

So your Opera is producing a different tint for some reason?
I have no idea what "colour managed environment" means.

It means that when you load an image into the Photoshop application on Windows, the color reproduction of the source is accurate.
Windows itself is not color managed. link
Regarding screenshots:
Go to Windows settings and activate night mode, pull it to warmest, take screenshot.
Go to Intel Graphics Command Center and pull one RGB lever to max, take screenshot.You will see that both screenshots are unaffected by system- or monitor settings.
Perhaps the ICC profile loaded will affect color, have not tested.

@vegelund That explains why when I screenshot a game it looks terribly dark, because I've got Windows set to brighten games. No idea how people play them at standard brightness, can't see anything. Maybe I'm meant to darken the room.

The new browser is not entirely bad, there are good things about it. I imagine it achieving some success in capturing a new audience. I wouldn't even say the new concept is bad despite the lack of refinement at the current state (inconsistent and sometimes unnecessary borders, too much wasted space, questionable accent color, etc.). But you know, the problems themselves are not even the problem here, it's how the new design was forced as an update. The developers must understand there are tons of browsers out there and previous Opera users chose it for the particular experience it provided, so to force a entirely new experience like this assuming they'll want it is unreasonable. We're not a cult, we will not just go along with anything. If it's a entirely new experience and the previous one is gone, users will obviously reevaluate their choice and maybe will stick with the new browser. And good luck with that.
It's ok to change, to try to evolve, but you should be more careful than that.

@koko1111 It was perfect before. Why make the interface look like a kid's toy and harder to use?
Having said that, I just tried Chrome. Now that really is rubbish. Every link opens in a new tab, no way to change it without an extension! Now that's what I call cluttered. You could end up with 50 tabs open, it's like never putting a tool away.
But at least the tabs look like tabs and not floating ovals.

@koko1111 you're right partially. But there're two more browser (GX and crypto) for those who likes something unusual an 'new'. Now the One version is similar to GX. They'd better add light theme in GX than promoting two browsers in dark mode currently. Now the 'gaming interface' is in both. And if I don't mistake, crypto browser also has dark UI. So 3 dark browsers actually.
*They choose the side of Darkness as it seems -

@koko1111 The one thing that was a old complaint was to be able to change the font color on the Speed dial page. This was not addressed. Your correct we don't like to be forced to upgrade to this. Bye Opera...Hello Firefox for now

My suggestion with side bar will be decrease is width (too much padding), as is it right now it takes a lot of space, maybe if they make the bar a little thin and remove the border in the icons.
Theres is other things that bother me, tabs look awful but I don´t know how they can fix them, it seems that this new design brings a lot of problems.

@joshkauff I think the tabs had margins before, now they don't have that anymore, which causes a blur when you have many tabs open. This was on my screen before and after:

@zauberfritz You´re right, very odd design, they add too much margin in some items and they remove it in others.

Look what I found in latest Edge version.
The ability to turn off #edge-rounded-containers.
"Enables rounded tabs, rounded corners around browser frames that bring visual separation – Mac, Windows, Linux."
I expect Opera to implement same choice.
Edge 116.0.1938.54 on Win10.

@vegelund there's special switch in Settings called 'Try the new look and feel of Microsoft Edge' and no need to use the flag.
There's also another one flag that makes rounded tabs
#edge-visual-rejuv-rounded-tabs*As was expected, the new Opera One's modular design is not an innovation from Opera side as it seems, but simply general redesign from Chromium.
