What do you think are the best ways to help someone who is colour-blind and struggles to tell any of the signal aspects apart, to learn SimSig?

My own ideas:

- turn on panel aspects
- turn off auto signal display

That way, all clear signals that she needs to worry about will have white "route set" stems, which do show up.

And, of course, make sure everyone follows the same settings for fairness

Having done the same for someone at work, who had the obvious issue with meeting minutes with red/yellow/green status boxes, does this effect work ?

If that is OK for a reasonable number of colour blind users (and it does vary) then it might be a viable F3 option as it uses a fairly simple colour code substitution

G = (0,255,0) becomes (128,255,128)
R = (255,0,0) becomes (255, 0, 255)
