Thanks for exploring these options @ashygee!
Versions 1 and 4 stand out best contrast-wise so I think worth continuing with those options. Version 1 seems most recognizable with the Primer brand currently because it has the colors that are used in our illustrations. Version 4 stands out really well against different browser backgrounds, however I'm not sure if it's recognizable as a paintbrush or with Primer's paintbrush when outlined since it looses it's detail.
It occured to me that using the paintbrush could be problematic as a favicon because the paintbrush isn't used in all the header illustrations, for example it's not used on https://primer.style/design - and likely won't be used on every site.
I was also thinking we use the GitHub Mark in the header next to "Primer" and this will be our "home" link, and would be good to keep a connection with GitHub. In the new nav explorations I used blue-400
for the mark and heading, and I think we could use that for our favicon (on the style guide we currently use a gradient blue mark):
The paintbrush head works well for our avatar on GitHub and on things like twitter, particularly as it will be a bit larger in those places and therefore have more room for detail, so you could keep exploring that option for those assets—how would you feel about that?

@broccolini that makes sense. I will continue to explore using the paintbrush for avatars then.
I'll put up some mocks with the GitHub mark using blue-400
.
from primer.style.
Here are options using the GitHub mark but styled using a variation from Primer's blue color palette. The values used are blue-600
and blue-400
. The original package favicon is set to blue-600
but per @broccolini comments above we may also want to consider consistency between the top navigation for the site and our favicon to uphold branding. For contrast, both values work well except in an instance where the theme such as the Classic Blue theme is being used, at this point blue-400
gets washed out.

Thanks for mocking these up @ashygee 💖
I'm inclined to design this for the default styles and incognito mode. I have no idea how common these other themes are (I never use them!) and which browsers you've tested in, but if it works for defaults in our supported browsers then I would prefer to stick with blue-400
since it matches the new header.
(If you share more screenshots, it would be helpful to see the selected tab with the new favicon in too rather than the old one for comparison.)
