Needed QoL: Manually Select Color Blind Colours

So I am not colour blind so far as I know, but the colour pallet being used for certain things is unhelpful. For example, when dropping I can't see where an ally has pinged unless it is directly in f...

@OldTreeCreeper Different Colourblind settings is not the same as changing specific colours explicitly. I don't want my entire colour pallet to change, JUST one aspect that was poorly chosen.

As I said, I am not colourblind, I can SEE the colour. I just cannot pickup on the colour chosen during SPECIFIC instances due to its size and pallet.

It CAN be seen. It is IGNORED by my brain when I am intentionally looking for it. Team mate pings (while sky diving or on ground), my eyes look for the ping, they cannot find it unless is DIRECTLY in front of me.

If you play an ARPG with an item filter and set a specific colour as something of low priority, your eyes and brain remember that colour as low priority. This affects apex because the low priority colour pallet IS USED FOR PINGS ontop of it being small and off to the side if its not on your screen.

@Monhulio I am not an expert but I will try to help you. Are you on pc or xbox? There are 2 easy things to start with. But trying to get one thing to stand out may affect the overall display. 

If on xbox you could try this

On a pc you can try to calibrate your monitor on say a Windows 10 computer, go to Settings > Display > Calibrate display color. Then follow the steps to set your gamma, brightness, contrast, and colors.

      @Monhulio there is a bunch of settings on PS5 to mess around with color filters under:

      Settings 

      Accessebility 

      Display 

      Color correction 

      Enable color correction

      Then there is color correction drop down menu with 4 choices

      And then an intensity bar below that. 

      Lots of colors are displayed above these, and you might be able to find a setting by fiddling around with these, that might give you what you need.
