Automation Wire Colours

[JaxckLl]

Automation signals in the game are currently red & green. This is pretty standard American convention for go/stop, but unfortunately it leaves behind a significant minority of people with red/green colour blindness. In large parts of Europe for example, traffic lights use blue instead of green because it has been shown to be more reliably distinguishable from red than green.

Suggestion,

• Change the Green signal on automation wires to Blue.
• This is intended to allow for broader comprehensibility in differentiating automation signals. While not a massively impactful change for the majority of players, for a significant minority this could be a massive quality of life change.

There are actually colour blindness settings in the game. Under Options > Graphics you can choose settings targeted at protanopia and deuteranopia. They indeed change the automation colours, to what appears to me as blue/orange or purple/yellow respectively.
