Color Blind Settings

My son is color blind and can not see red or green as those colors look gray. Is there a way to change the text colors to differentiate between colors, such as grades, due dates, etc? Setting the themes colors will not do anything. If not, I would highly recommend a change to the BUZZ program to be able to change the font colors where someone who is partially color blind( eg. red green color blind) so it will help them know what the screen is telling them. He is running on a chromebook and I have tried to change the settings within to make it work with color blind settings but don't seem to hold. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello John, thank you so much for your feedback! Currently, if a student has enabled the user setting "Use visual indicators in addition to color", then the user will see an indicator for below-passing grades. This is currently displayed as an asterisk.

User Settings

Below-passing grade

 

For due dates, if an activity is submitted late, we display a "clock" icon next to the submitted/due date to indicate that it is late.

Late submission or past due

---------

Can you think of anywhere else where we may not display a visual indicator to help a learner know if there is an anomaly with a status or grade?

Thank you!
