You would think that the messages you receive are the primary focus of a messaging app, since you spend most of your time reading them. However, many big messaging clients like iMessage and Facebook Messenger highlight your own messages in bright colors, and color the other messages more neutrally. Because of this, the user's eyes are automatically drawn to their own messages.
Is there a reason for this? I know iMessage uses the colors to indicate whether a message was sent using SMS or data, however it doesn't seem to make much sense in other scenarios. What am I missing?
