Alright to start, anyone who goes "TL;DR" should go away forever.
=================================================================================
Today in the morning I read a post about a Dyslexic friendly ROBLOX by a pretty intelligent guy named Brighters. He made a great dyslexic option proposal and it got me thinking of my red-green colorblindness. You see, I suffer from deuatranopia, where red and green are reversed for me. So like, when you see a tree with green leaves, I see them as red.
Anyways, certain mixes of colors can irritate me, and a lot of colorblind ROBLOXians have complained of not being able to see where the character can move.
My proposal is, have a colorblind option or a sight tester. I was thinking under account and into themes next to where you choose your theme there could be a "Colorblind Mode" option, and possibly a "Dyslexic Mode" option for anyone who suffer from the two. In the colorblind option, the option would update the sight's theme to match as someone who suffers from deuatranopia, and would change color pallets for ROBLOXPlayer and ROBLOXStudio, and the dyslexic mode would change the fonts into moredyslexic friendly fonts, change the colors too more "cream" or white, and make text larger and bolder. Anyways, though it would be hard to program, ROBLOX could benefit from more colorblind or dyslexic players to join ROBLOX and build great games that would look normal to those who have normal color or text vision.
I know that you could probably just "install some software, duh!" but not everyone has that kind of money, and this option could create a new job opening for moderators. It would be a job to see if a certain decal, shirt, t-shirt, model etc. would irritate/hurt someone like me who suffers from the condition, putting a setting such as a "Colorblind Irritation Warning; Click to View (Image, shirt, t-shirt, decal etc.). As for shirts in-game, the setting would fix that in-game.
Please support this option, as it could benefit ROBLOX by gaining more players.

Stop spamming it, we get it already, it won't make a difference if you keep suggesting the same thing over and over again.

Again, do you have any specific examples of areas that are a problem? This is far too vague. Nothing hurts my eyes, I can see my character walk, and the way the colors are organised are very colorblind friendly if you spend some time trying to figure it out. Also, I've found at least 3 posts about this, and there's no need to post this excessively. You haven't added anything, as far as I can tell. The dyslexia thread was very detailed and listed improvements, actual research, and what it'd actually do to the site and games. He researched fonts and color schemes and you could tell he knew what he was talking about. You don't seen to. Don't post it again until you've found more information and examples.

All I really did was edit it, sorry if I didn't reply to you on the first post. Regular ambients tend to irritate my eyes. And, since i'm colorblind, they'res not much for me to research. Whenever changing my character, I have a hard time discriminating the colors of the tone. Some times, I can't see the character move when wearing certain colors.

"See, the rows are of the following colors:

- Blue
- Blue/green
- Green
- Yellow/orange
- Pink/red
- Purple
- Brown
- Grey

In that order.

And the columns go from light on the left to dark on the right."

I posted that on your original post. I hope this helps when changing colors. They've ordered them very nicely there. Now I've memorized that I don't need to use paint to work out a color.

And I'm sure regular color-sighted users also have issues with their eyes hurting for certain color combinations, especially those that are excessively bright. And I've heard before that we actually have an advantage at deciphering camouflage because our colorblindness makes us focus more on the edges. If it's similar, or even the same color, it's probably effecting other people as well. I'm not sure if there's anything to be done about that and it just sounds like bad game design rather than an issue with roblox as a whole. If it's as specific as that I suggest trying to message the creator of the game.

I'm not colorblind, although I do know a few colorblind people, including a couple of my cousins, but they don't complain.

Roblox probably should release different colorblind options that modify the colors both on the site and in-game so that people with different types of colorblindness can play.

Or, like you said, there is software for it.

I can not see the color black. Yes I am dead serious. You might see it as black, but I see it as a flashy color being a very dark blue. :/ I wished I could see the text properly.

Quite sure there are less colour-blind people than non colour-blind ones.

Too much effort on ROBLOX's part in exchange for virtually no benefit to all but fifty or so robloxians. No support. Besides, I'm sure you can find some /free/ software.
