i was going to submit this, glad im not the only one. I cant tell the difference between the green/yellow at all. And yes that has led to me losing games.

I can't make Alliances due to I can't tell blue/purple or green/yellow apart ! I also always have to be red.

Hi Jerod, this feature is planned in our dev queue. I'm very sorry we didn't add this sooner.

Thanks! –Lee@SMG

This would definitely help new and old colorblind players and would encourage colorblind players to stay.

I am colorblind and can't tell the difference in the green and yellow colors. But even my non colorblind friend has trouble with those. Glad this will be addressed.

Colours like black or white would work. I fink orange and yellow are two close in colour

Would each players army have its own image?

Glad this problem is being addressed. I'm moderately colorblind and I've had this problem on many versions of the computer Risk game. I can usually figure it out but it definitely takes extra time. Perhaps patterns could be used in conjunction with color. For example stripes, checker, dotted lines, stipple etc. Perhaps there could be more than one color/pattern scheme. Thank you, Marcus

This is great I am colour blind and the yellow and green is an issue. How about yellow, red, white, dark blue, grey 5hese would not be an issue

A decent short term partial solution would be to make the 4th, 5th, and 6th armies Purple, Green, and Orange (In that order). Orange, Red, and Green are all very similar for red-green color-blindness (the most common). The colors that you chose for yellow and green are identical.

A year later still no colorblind mode...?

We'd add a setting for players to enable colour blind option on their device.

We'd post an image to this thread with the revised player and territory colours for feedback to ensure there is sufficient contrast between problematic colour combinations. –Lee@SMG

I love this idea. I can only play games I start because I can only distinguish red. Can't tell yellow from green or blue from purple. And only play 4 people cause if I play more then orange comes into play.

I have the same problem. I hope it will be fixed, because I love the game and I'd like to fully enjoy it; without mixing green and yellow players :D Thank you!

I appreciate having the different shaped pucks when in color blind mode. even so I could still use help relating the pucks to the avatars in the right hand margin. I'm red/green color challenged. even tho my monitor color richness settings are very high; orange, red, yellow, and green can be very hard to distinguish in game. that causes occasional errors. it also slows me down enough to affect me in timed play.
