Color blind option for RISK players and territory colors

IDEA: Add a settings option for color-blind players to easily distinguish between green and yellow, and blue and purple colour schemes used for players and map territories.

I would like it if you vary the greyscale for each color that way they are distinguishable without color, which is what a fully colorblind person needs.

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. 

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!

Red-green colourblind here chiming in. This is a deal breaker for me. An option for 6 player-defined team colours is the way to go.

Chiming in here.  Also agree Red, Yellow, Blue great for most "colorblind" people.  To these add Black and White for very clear delineation. 6th color a bit tougher but grey would probably be best choice.  Color combinations are what give us the most trouble.  Yellow and Green look similar.  Blue and Purple as well and of course Orange and Red are hard to tell apart.

It's fixed now with the update they just did, much better now. I can actually tell the colors apart now. THANK YOU!!!
So I just found this option on Android, shouldn't this proposal be marked as implemented?
I have to be red. On new games I am changed to blue which I cannot see. How do I stay red, which I am on the othe other maps?
is this an ADA issue? Please fix asap.

I have the same problem.  For me its like playing only two players when I know there are actually 5.  Please make a colorblind option available soon.  Perhaps even adding patterns (like on the old Macintosh version- i.e. strips, checkers, etc.) Thank you!

The colors blue, red, yellow, black, white, gray, gold, silver should all be good colors that I should be able to tell apart.

Any idea when this option might be made available?

They obviously don't care, should be a simple fix and they've had numerous updates.  I've all but quit playing the game now due to the difficulty.

 

I'm glad others brought this up, as red/green color blind the yellow, green ,and orange are extremely similar. I agree if each color had a corresponding pattern, or for me I have less issues if the colors are basic, maybe an option to remove the filter and use just primary colors that may help. I love the game but would love it more if it was easier to see. Thanks!
