    It's lovely that the developers take notice and add shapes in addition a color difference to ease identification for many people with colourblindness, or otherwise impaired vision.

    Just to further increase awareness of a useable feature, even though you likely know of it, is the accessibility settings.
    Under system configuration > accessibility settings there are color adjustments for colourblindness. Fiddling with those settings might produce an image that on your monitor makes it easier to differentiate the mechanics. (I am not colourblind myself, but I have found them useful in certain content to more easily identify things. Particularly when playing on a screen with poor colour reproduction)

    It's worth noting that apparently the Playstation version does not support the colorblindness functionality, presumably because the game is doing something like using Windows monitor profiles (which wouldn't exist under the Playstation's OS) to skew the color in a calculated manner. So unfortunately, that only applies to the PC version of the game, so far as I know. Admittedly, that might have changed; I haven't checked the menus on the PS version in a while.

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    Looking at the game manual and switching between windows/PS/mac you appear to be correct. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game_manual/config/

    It's unfortunate that that feature is seemingly not available on PlayStation consoles. That might be something to take into consideration if you have vision that might be impacted by this.

    PlayStation here , I was surprised it wasn’t there and seems there is no plan to add it anytime soon,so at least they are trying to mitigate it with shape and colours.
