I'm not color blind but have low vision. It's so hard to explain what I can't see.

You are so droll! I love little asides like this: “I know what you’re thinking. We can’t remove the purple camel because it adds so much realism to the game. That argument, however, fails to account for the fact that the world was in black-and-white back then.”

Ever since learning about colorblindness in elementary school, I have wondered why traffic lights are red and green. It does seem as though many accommodations for colorblindness would be easier to implement than changing all the traffic lights--your suggestions for board games are good examples.

A final thought: I wonder whether there isn’t a TikTok trend of pretending to be colorblind because colorblindness afflicts almost exclusively boys and men, while those suffering from imaginary conditions spread by TikTok are mostly girls and women?
