Years ago, mostly by accident, I started using green for block quotes in Markdown. Screenshot below. It’s weird because I never use green in actual published blog themes or Micro.blog on the web. I did a quick survey of other Markdown apps for inspiration and can’t really find a better style.

Yeah, if you can only change colour, that seems like a good option. Blue is links, red is danger, purple could work, but might be too close to blue, yellow is hard to read, etc.

it’s probably a good choice precisely because it isn’t typically used.

It reminds me of those 4chan "greentext" screenshots that often circulate on social media 😅
