From a site I’ve inherited which is full of things like this (and lots of other very !important things). Send help.

    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.
