colorblind

will there be a colorblind option coming up, or the future?

As far as I know some of design is bent to it.No red and green items,orbs light brown,uniques dark brown instead of orange,maps are designed in a specific way,you know.
I don't know what they can do about yellow/blue items,nor if they got intentions to make further changes.
If you have problems with with red/green,yellow items could be a problem :(
And colour of sockets,ofc :( It's the worse.

To be honest, the most dangerous thing for me is having a hard time spotting champions and even rares without auras. Is that a group of champion ribbons right there with the double damage auras? Only way to find out is to mouse over or man-mode and find out.

Obviously the green/red sockets are also a problem, even though you can twink your monitor settings a bit to help with that. But it usually won't get you killed.

yeah im kinda having the same problem with the mobs like you said pweres but i think it would be a good thing to add cause prob half of the community is color blind

Uniques are orange. Apparently a shade of orange that looks brown to the colorblind?

Let thier support know. They have been working on better colorblind support for a while now. Im sure feedback from actual colorblind users will help thier effort immensely.

In the mean time, if you are on Windows (though Mac and Linux has a version too), open Magnify, click the cog icon (settings) and enable Color inversion.

That way the colors you cannot see are now colors you can see and differentiate between.

It should not matter much (aside from seeing RGB links on gear) when actively questing and such, but while you are in town you can invert the colors just long enough to see what gem goes where and what sockets are what.

Just a thought. Might hurt your eyes when using Chromatics to get a certain set up though by staring at the weird colors for a long period.

So if this was like.. over a year ago.. is it honestly going to ever be available soon?
I think someone who mentioned just putting an X/Y or letters over the gem slots would have been easy enough. Art taking that long?

Heya,

Our art team is currently working on making improvements that will cater to our colour blind players. I am unable to specify when these changes will be available, but they are definitely being worked on! Any feedback you have about what would be helpful to you is much appreciated :)

Brown IS a shade of orange.
