Colorblind-friendly window decorations #6526

As someone who is colorblind, I can tell you that patterns would be extremely welcome.
Currently, green, yellow and orange decorations all look the same to me. Purple and blue are also indistinguishable. I am limited to 5 colors, including gray and black.

Adding something like a checkboard or diagonal line pattern would greatly improve UX, and they would work even for people who have harsher forms of colorblindness or even severely impaired eyesight.

Diagonal line patterns can present hazards for people prone to seizures. But, plenty options abound, regardless.

Never would have thought of that. I guess that is why we have you!
