  I think you don’t understand colour vision.

  Colour “blindness” is extremely rare. Like actually being blind to colours. Monochromatism.

  I have slightly different colour vision, which affects 14.5% men. Calling it deficient would be bias as there’s some studied showing those men (us) can see more hues of green and brown, which might mean being better able to distinguish animals which try to blend into the green/brown backgrounds.

  And I also went through a print media design program, ie graphic design, so regardless of the 14.5% of men, that’s still poorly legible, red on green.

      Okay now that this reply remanded me, I’m now looking at it without the night filter (blue light filter, eye comfort shield, flux) I can actually read it myself as well.

      I didn’t realise the phone reads the colour based on the filter, instead of reading the “actual” content sans the filter. So it’s not as bad as I thought but one shouldn’t really contrast red with green, although it’s done in the industry as well.

      Even as a kid I’d see the border as kind of fuzzy, that’s how I realised having something “wrong” with my colour vision. (I put “wrong” in quotes because I think the red-green difference may actually be an evolutionary adaptation to recognise animals, though there’s little if any proof for that).
