Makes colored backgrounds more easily distinguishable in conditions with reduced color.

Increases blue content in the 'false' color to increase distinction from the 'true' color in protanopic (no red) and deuteranopic (no green).

Decreases red content in the 'false' color to increase distinction from the 'true' color in achromatopsic (no color) conditions.

Does not meaningfully address visibility considerations in reduced contrast or blurry conditions.

Happy to make any adjustments y'all think are wise!

I like this, but I think "Full Color" is less intuitive since so many people associate green with good and false with bad (which, for requirements, will still be the correct association). Would it be possible to make this a setting, or change the website to have a tickbox that alters the colors?

I also like the idea of having different color palettes to choose from.

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on what the default palette should be.

@kaBeech Following up on this. Let me know if you want to talk about options to design the switch.
