Color Blindness Help

This is most likely a dupe, but I haven't found any

I have noticed that Scratch only has colors and text for the blocks categories. Aside from the fact that it would look much nicer , I think it would benefit many people if the block categories had unique icons so then people who cannot see colors as well have two ways to identify blocks. Images would help people find categories much easier and would probably be very easy to add into Scratch. It would also benefit people that have no color-blindness.

Edit: The love and favorite icons should also be changed so that it's easier to tell if they are pressed or not.

This is actually a good idea, in Among Us (do not crush me for talking about it I just couldn't think of anything else) there's an option where you see what color somebody is with text. This could be an option too.

I shall

Among us is a good game, I don't blame you for mentioning it. Anyway, I see some merit in this suggestion, it would help out people who can't see all the colors.

This is Georgie the evil grapefruit. He is much larger, stronger, more nutritious and scarier than a kumquat. Donate your soul to him at my profile to help him gain power to overthrow the kumquats and claim his position as the best signature eater!

This is a social experiment, comment and you MIGHT get curator

Please give constructive feedback.


I support, I also think some of the block categories should be renamed as they are a bit confusing and not user/beginner-friendly

Kumquats are tasty
I started scratch in 2.0
Is that a rare thing?

Support,
It would be helpful for people with colorblindness and that way even people that don't like sorting
blocks and things with colors (referring to myself ) would like sorting with icons.

Actually, no, this topic is about general color blindness help.

EDIT: I mean better things to help people who have hard times distinguishing colors
