That's a good idea!

Eh, not really supporting this.

I'm fairly certain most people who use Scratch can read, even if they are colorblind. This suggestion is because one can't quickly see the difference in colors (a colorblind person anyway). I think the little images, while they're a cute idea, wouldn't really fulfill the purpose. After all, they'd kinda do the same thing as the labels below all the colors.

I'm pretty sure the intent was for those icons to be shown next to each block in the category, the way they are for extensions. That would certainly be helpful - I rely much more on shapes than colors.

I'm going to say something shocking.
This topic has existed since the spring of 2017, and nobody, nobody has noticed that this is a duplicate. Until now.
There are other threads that are also about colourblindness, but the one I linked to proposes the same solution as the one in this topic.

I've merged the two topics.

Here's one that uses brightness more than the current ones, combined with NitroCipher's flat style idea for 3.0 (current on the left):

I think this should be OK but are variables and events too similar here? Maybe I should make variables closer to lists since they're in the same category.

It would be good if some people with other forms of colourblindness saw this. Does anyone here happen to know anyone else who has it?
The problem with that is that it hurts your eyes if you aren't colorblind.
Which ones? I find them all OK.
The color/contrast adjusted ones.
I find the pen blocks, sound blocks, variable blocks, and the control blocks in that example to hurt my eyes.
I don't like bright colours; my right eye is too prone to them XD

when green flag clicked
i want in 3.0 plz
say [i want]
i want to say [i want plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

True. It should be an option.

Necropost
There is no such thing as necropost in suggestings.

No support, nobody cares about the colors of the blocks, and are still differentiated either way.

Good idea! I'm colorblind myself, but i can sorta differentiate the blocks. It would be cool if there was an update or something. It would like a settings menu, that could allow you to change the color to whatever you would like! They should do that!
I think there used to be a way to do that but they removed it. It might still be able to be done in 1.4.

Edit: If you shift-click Edit you can actually edit block colors.

update to clarify, this feature was removed in 3.0

Bump, no one responded. At least tell me why you don't support!

No one knows i'm here because at the time I posted this, im in scratch 3.0!

I know this suggestion was necroposted on, but accessibility is a topic of interest, so if anyone wished to still chime in, they can.

man-o-valor

support! I'm not colorblind, but I can imagine that it's hard to do scratch with any form of color blindness. i would like to add that there is an extansion for your browser that lets you recolor blocks. (won't say what it is because community guidelines, but you can find it yourself!)

Support, if it's an option.
I like the colors of the current blocks, but I can understand why colorblind people would have trouble making the difference between block colors.
If there was an option in Account Settings where you can choose between the normal colors, and colors that are more friendly towards different types of colorblind-ness, then I would support.

If there was no option, semi-support to no support (this is based on how different the blocks would look, so I can't say either one just yet).

Wait I thought this was already added with the new block colors

I believe that we have yet to see how much this helps people who colorblind.
