Rest in peace, Bing. It's not dead or anything but it might as well be.

I hate to mention this, but Microsoft used this colour scheme since Windows 3.1, when Xbox or Bing weren’t even a twinkle in Bill Gates’ eye. Here’s a better theory - they’re sticking to a historical colour scheme because the logo has decades of brand recognition behind it and there’s no reason to change it drastically.

Well both can be true
We have got to ask Phil Spencer and Bill Gates

We really don’t - they told us what the repurposed colours are for when they launched the new logo, it’s in the announcement clip. You’re partially correct, what I was saying was that the colours were picked for individual products for historical reasons, not the reverse. They had four to work with, and assigned them to individual products before composing them into an overarching whole.

The logo has two components: the logotype and the symbol. For the logotype, we are using the Segoe font which is the same font we use in our products as well as our marketing communications. The symbol is important in a world of digital motion (as demonstrated in the video above.) The symbol’s squares of color are intended to express the company’s diverse portfolio of products.

The colours themselves, and their arrangement, are a callback to the classic Windows flag logo, they maintain that colour scheme today as the logo for the entire company, they simply assigned individual products to each colour.

The old Bing app icon was a very similar orangy-yellow. You can probably find a snapshot on archive.org

Those are the same colors as the buttons on an Xbox controller. Basically, if you need four colors that are as distinguishable from each other as possible, those are the four you need.

True looking at my xbox 360 controller yep ur right
