Unfortunately they are barely visible, you can see it on the green, yellow and brown potions, but the other 3 is just impossible to see ---

I like the new flask layout, but wouldn’t it be better if a recoloring item was added to the menu? So, for example,a person having a problem with red/green, can make red a little darker (or geen lighter) ---

I’m not sure if those tiny little things were ever expected to be visible. If they were, well, obviously they’re not _enough_ … I didn’t even know they were there. ---

I really hope there can be a fast fix for this so that people are able to get back to enjoying the game. I can’t even imagine the frustration they must be feeling about this. Seeing those screenshots of the various views for those who are color blind was really informative and very clearly illustrates the huge problem that this is! ---

I used the “exploit” word cause the decoration is used for something which was not intended and not supported. Idk how those who can’t see the colors do know about the mana colors on troops tho. ---

> [@Tibo](#): > > I used the “exploit” word cause the decoration is used for something which was not intended and not supported. That’s a big assumption that the gems’ visually distinct decorations _aren’t_ a deliberate accessibility feature. A suggestion: make the flasks the same shapes as the corresponding gems’ symbols. ---

I just checked the other parts of the game. Banners are good: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/3/836a75c24c6ab3f31d4485e9324a1afadd96dd46.jpeg) but troops: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/2/b2bd0bf77668c13801e483d6920a2e3b969b9dba.png) Good luck with that. ---

Yeah, good call. How _do_ our colorblind players deal with identifying what colors a troop uses? (My color vision is OK but TBQH sometimes on mobile I find this a little hard to tell; especially in battle. Those pie segments are small; sometimes I end up bringing up an opponent’s card just to get a closer look at their mana colors.) ---

Not colorblind myself but outside sources like [gowdb.com](http://gowdb.com) and [taransworld.com](http://taransworld.com) list mana colors. Some may use that? ---

Exploit has a negative connotation, though. You exploit a bug if you know what’s happening is wrong but you still use it to your advantage. I know what you’re trying to say but I don’t know a good word. I know there is one… If it comes to mind I’ll let you know. 😉 ---
