Color blind-friendly palette

I suffer from a weakness of recognizing the Differenz between Green and Red. Now your App Displays the available charging Stations with a circle with Segments in Green and Red. Thats nearly unreadable for me.

I suggest, that you choose colors, which are better for people Like me, because WE are Not seldom.

Green and yellow should be o.k., blue and yellow would BE Optimum, but Not for some other fewer people. Red and blue should also Work.

Kind regards, Michael

    I have the same problem. This picture could be “all taken” or “all available” to me

    Problem for color blind people

    Hi,

    I and perhaps 6-8% of the population cannot seperate red from green. They simply seems like the same color to us. I cannot therefore tell whether the circle telling the charger availability is red or green - and I cannot compare the symbol at “Tilgængelig” (“Available”) with the circle.

    Could you perhaps find another way to show the availability of the charger?

    Color blindness mode

    please generate different color options for colorblinds. Using red and green at the same place can be hard to distinguish.

      This problem affects 10% of males in the UK so even though it might not be of interest to the majority there are enough of us to justify the change.

    It might be a better Idea to implement in preferences simply a Switch where one can choose colors blue/yellow for people Like me. Almost all Others could ignore it, because the Standard remains Green/Red. People with a blue/yellow Problem (very rare) would use IT never of course.
