Why the move away from the use of green in the UI?

[CamSchnackel]

Lately I've noticed each new update has replaced green parts of the interface with white. It started with the playback control, then the connect menu, and now the navigation controls.

I feel like, while seemingly inconsequential, this takes away from Spotify's identity quite a bit. Having been a subscriber for 6 years, the app is becoming almost unrecognizable because of these changes. I think the black and green style has been a staple of Spotify, and it's a shame to see it fade away.

At this rate, the next update could remove the green from the icon. Is this the direction we are moving in? Can we not please?
