    Colorblind accessibillity in new trial

    I'm sure I'm not the only one having this problem, but the color difference between the floor segments is not very noticeable if you have any degree of protanopia. Please please please change either the safe zone or the danger zone to something with higher contrast.

    Seconded. Please do something about the colours for the bloom phases. The floor segments are too similar in colour.

    One of my friends has colourblindness and can’t tell the colours apart, and few others are still struggling with it anyway. For me it gets bad in bloom 2 and bloom 5 when the orange cleaves are all over the arena as well.

    For Zelenia, the red "gloom" tiles also have a second triangle drawn within them, but it's arguably a bit too subtle and not distinct enough from the rose-motif pattern on the floor.

    Its also big problem for me. I've cleared ultimates (FRU, UWU) and I've never struggled as much to just see what's going on.

    I have protanopia, and its really difficult for me to tell the difference between the safe and dangerous tiles, without any other mechanics going on, but adding in mechanics on top of them, makes it impossible to tell what's going on.
    Its really disheartening because I love the theming of this fight and I love farming for the extreme mounts.
    I hoping that y'all can up the contrast or make the shape a lot easier to see, because I would love to be able to do this fight.

    I knew I wasn't going crazy. As someone with no type of colorblindness to my knowledge, the rose flooring is irritatingly hard to see at times. Friends of mine have been having the same issue. I hope that they add more contrast between the normal flooring and the rose flooring.

    Yes to this thread, I can barely distinguish the different shades of red in the floor tiles. Given the speed of the Blooms mechanics it is impossible for me to see the appropriate spots. At least make the contrast between the red and brown tiles more significant

    My ex got me a pair of those once. They didnt do anything as far as I could tell... I feel like they're only good for extreme cases, if anything.

    Coming in to post on the forums for the first time just to agree with this. I don't have any form of colorblindness and it's still embarrassingly hard to see the tiles in the new extreme. They really need better accessibility options for the game in general
