I try to implement color-blind safe color palettes in my presentable work. Weird part is i started doing it after a color blind person was an ass to me for completely unrelated reasons.

Maybe I thought other color blind people are just humans and not represented by this guy.

This is why, if I want to upload an image that needs a circle drawing attention to some part of it, I use blue instead of red. Useless red circles become even more useless when someone struggles to see red, but the most common forms of color-blindness show a distinction for blue.

I have an app on my phone that simulates different types of color blindness (Chromatic Vision Simulator, or CVSimulator. Free, no ads, it just does the thing it's designed to do.) Sometimes I use it to make art that can be accessible for people without a full range of color perception, or to make something that is designed specifically for them. Sometimes such limitations encourage creativity, and if it means more people can enjoy a piece, I'm all for it.

Don’t use color, use different line types. Hatching, cross hatching, zig zag, dotted line, dashed line.

Interesting, what is the app called?

Had this the other day with my NAS!

Just for fun I tried the "locate disc" function, which supposedly changes the colour of the LED of the tray of the specific disc.

Only after manually finding the correct tray and starring at the LED for a couple of seconds I could see that it was slightly oranger compared to the others. I think.

I do hate the blinkinlights for that reason. Green? k. Amber? Not quite the same as green... is there a green nearby to compare? Orange? Different than amber, maybe? Red. K definitely not green.
