I have a slight red-green weakness, or at least it takes more effort to distinguish between the two.
Over the holidays I have been playing a match-3-like game called Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, where you use weaker units to activate stronger ones. The problem is that certain weaker units’ palettes swaps are nearly indistinguishable; e.g., you can have something like 20%,30%,60% and 30%,20%,60% for the weaker units and then 30%,40%,60% for the stronger one. It doesn’t help that the sprite art isn’t entirely that one identifiable color; the units are quite colorful!
The way around it was to:
- set my sad non-profiled screen to 5000K
- use a global eyedropper
- know which part of each unit to look for the identifiable color
