It honestly seems like a coincidence to me. Using a popular font (Lobster) for your logo means your logo will look like other people's logos.

As for "similar color", the dply logo appears to be black. There is some blue (not the same blue) on the page, I guess?

Right, and dply's is black. So, I'm curious why "blue" is being mentioned at all. Because dply has some blue (not the same blue) on the page?

Every link on the page is blue, as well as hovering (which is why I said their 'brand' color not their logo color)

Right. But not the same blue.

So, two websites, using the same font for their logo, and both using some shade of blue somewhere on the page?

I don't get your sarcasm. A logo matching in wording, font, and color, is different than a generic design aspect.
