Feature request: color accessible palette - jbdiver - 03-14-2021
I was watching the youtube live stream today (thank you!) and noticed that the MRCC uses red/green colors to denote certain events or configuration state. In my experience, technology vendors often forget that ~5% of their potential customers can't differentiate certain variations these colors well. Fortunately there are a couple easy solutions: either pick a color palette which which everyone can easily see or allow the user to select an alternative color palette if they are color deficient.

I'm one of those people. Especially troubling are the old Red/Green/Orange LEDs.
However, if I remember correctly - the NDLR screen had some red and green and it didn't cause me a problem. I think the MRCC uses the same (similar?) display.
What's helpful if we can't customize the colors is having the icon fill in or invert or some other physical manifestation in addition to the color change.
