Colorblind mode needs tweaking

Hey. First of all, I know this is a difficult subject for a lot of game developers and despite effort put into it, rarely any actually nails it, however I feel that Apex legends missed it by a lot.

I'm personally a strong Deuteranopia.

Which by set "analytics" should mean that green and red is closer to grey than their actual colours. Which I can safely say isn't correct.

Yes the colours are not as vibrant but more bland and darkish.

Generally the world is in fact a darker place when you are a Deuteranopia.

And here comes the issues. with said colourblindness, it's not a matter of altering the colours slightly to adjust for it being green or red. It's a matter of contrasts and shading.

Ironicly in your options of colourblindness, the "default" setting is the more clear of them.

Default

Protanopia: Alters the purple colour to a shade of blue however with this shade of blue from my POV, there's no longer a colourdifference between epic and blue rarity.

Deuteranopia: my colourblindness, completely identical to the previous one

Tritanopia: Which is the worst of them all in terms of colour correction for me. They're all literally a different shade of grey with a hint of green.

Here's an example from ingame with a teammate pointing out to me that there was an epic knockdown shield on a body and the reason why I have come to the forums to point this out.

in the gear section of this loot menu. they are all the same shade of blue to me.

Other examples to clarify how it works.

In borderlands the loot is vizualised with light cones. the green and legendary light cone is the same shade when placed next to each other. they are not both "grey", they are just the same shade of yellow / green when lined next to each other.

in fortnite. the green and grey loot when lying on the ground gives off the same tint of green/greyish when lying next to other items of those 2 rarities.

Literally the best way to fix this is to make legendary a HARD red. epic a HARD purple, blue a BRIGHT blue and Common remains Grey. It's a matter of contrasts and shading. not the direct colour display on the screen.

Although fortnite's isn't perfect. at least pay attention to how they know about the contrast. realise that the entire screen changes it brightness depending on what colourblindness it is.

Thank you for your time and hopefully you guys at Apex legends / respawn can help make this game a happier place for people like me.
