    As someone who is very colorblind, the colorblind color filter options for games have to be the most useless accessibility option of all time. I’ve never heard of anyone actually using them, and it just seems like an option companies keep throwing in without actually ever consulting anyone who is colorblind.

      Doesn’t help that these ones seem to be limited to HUD.

      I’m not colorblind but I’ve been wondering what kind of options could be useful for players like you. Some kind of fully customizable color filter? Ability to add a colored silhouette/overlay for important gameplay objects with access to a full RGB selection?

      I’m aware about stuff like making elements recognizable without colors (by using shapes or textures to make elements more distinct) but is there something else you’d like to see in games?
