Increase support for color blindness

EA / Codemasters have done a lot in recent years to add support for porple with impaired vision. However the color weakness settings are in my opinion just not sufficient, being limited only to the racing line.

As far as I know, almost 1/12 men have some degree of color weakness, so I think a few small options would help us a lot to enjoy the game more. Here is what I noticed with Protanomaly (red/green weakness):

  • The difference between green and yellow sector times is very difficult to see, since the change to original F1 colors. I would love to have a setting to change yellow sectors back to red ones.
  • The damage screen in the MFD is during the race unusable for me. I really need to pause the game and study the image thoroughly to see, if one of the parts is not green anymore. I would love a more pronounced color difference here - or at least dont make it transparent.
  • In Career mode used engine parts look way to similar to fresh parts. I can go with the percentages, but the color looks to me almost the same. I would love an option to simply make used ones purple or so instead of orange.

These all seem to me like small and easy implementable changes, which would affect a lot of players. I would personally recommend to give each part its own option and not a general color blindness option in the settings. For example, I dont need an option for the racing line at all - here the colors are pronounced enough for me, and would like to keep it as it is - but the ones mentioned above, I would all enable.
