Can we get an update on the subject of AoE indicator colors?

The change from red to orange was to have a color that's a blend for less colorblind people to be unable to notice. The pulsing was added on top of that for even the most severe colorblind people to be able to notice.
I'm not colorblind at all but the orange can be hard to see in some maps, but the pulsing still lets me know there's something on the ground and I should get out of it.

Short of a slider for AoE colors (which would only work for generic ones) they've done many things to accommodate colorblind people without making aoes too blatantly obvious. Things like the lines on Chirada/suparna in garuda for instance

That's a bit of an over exaggeration, wouldn't you say? This isn't Dark Souls. People already have a hard enough time doing content with big visual markers to avoid.

dark purple: estimated >100% HP damage and/ or lethal debuff

This was one of the biggest learning hurdles for me getting into the game. Sometimes I would move out of a very low damage AoE and end up making the rest of the party mad since I was moving around so much, and other times I would think I could stay and then end up dead. As a result I just dodged all AoEs even when unnecessary or hindering the situation.

Back in my day we had to learn the fights properly both ways up the hill in the snow!

Having no AOE indicator is now Dark Souls level of difficulty? HAHAHAHAAAA.
