Well, there is a possibility of a quick and dirty hack to help temporarily until a good solution is made. If there is possibility to provide a 3x3 matrix to transform the colors on the screen, then you can for example permute the RGB color channels, or let the invisible one leak to the other two color channels.
The results won't be very pretty, but this can be done really fast. The settings even don't need to be extremely accessible.

Red/Green colour blind crew checking in. Supported.

Somewhat red/green colorblind here. As mentioned, there are levels of color deficiency.

Anyplace where small red/yellow/green icons are used it is usually difficult or impossible for me to distinguish. For example, in the probing interface we have had for a while now, I cannot distinguish between the yellow and green triangles that people tell me are there. They look identical to me. I can easily ignore that, since I need 100% to be useful anyway.

I changed the color of the little star indicating corp members, cuz I couldn't tell the difference between that green and the red of "bad guys".

And like another poster said, ECM modules -- Caldari and Gallente look essentially the same to me. Put them next to each other and I can tell a *slight* difference, but couldn't tell you which is which. So, just like the other poster, I fill the slots in alphabetical order.

Accessibility options are a pretty important section to consider for any software design. I hope this gets some attention.

Thank you for this. I was wondering what it was like to have colour impairment. Damn, I was behind this from the moment I noticed it but after seeing that this should've been done years ago!

For goodness sake CCP, we have athletes with no legs running and winning Gold Olympic Medals and you can't add a "Colour Deficient Mode"? Apologies if that's not how you describe it.

Some interesting stats from the above link:

1 in 12 people have some sort of color deficiency. About 8% of men and 0.4% of women in the US.
0.38% of women are deuteranomalous (around 95% of all color deficient women).
0.005% of the population are totally colour blind.
0.003% of the population have tritanopia.
Protanomaly occurs in about 1% of males.
Deuteranomaly occurs in about 5% of males. It's the most common color deficiency.
Protanopia occurs in about 1% of males.
Deuteranopia occurs in about 1% of males.

+1, I'm getting pretty tired of this, CCP.

This is an accessibility feature, required by paying customers, and quite a few of them already.

Could we at least have any Dev feedback?

I have trouble with red and greed when it is the same, shade or brightness and next to each other. What is really bad is when the colours switch. Red becomes green and green red. Nothing like seeing all the red trees and grass. Good thing it does not happen that often. Sometimes both just turn to brown.


I support this idea. Give us a way to set out own colours for things.

Even FTL has a colorblind mode :o

I'm not colorblind myself but please, help these people CCP.


PS : If you can't see red, then your carrots are brown ??

I'm not colour blind but I support this.
