Colorblind Seals (Malverk textures)

[tranquil coral]

As a colorblind person, I have been discarding cards I should keep and keeping cards I should discard because I have a hard time distinguishing between the purple and blue seals.
So I made this little texture replacement mod. I figured that I'm probably not the only person with this problem, so here it is for anyone to enjoy!

Looks good, though if you really want to increase the legibility even further I think maybe crossing it with the seals in Luna's Enhancements would increase its legibility even further. Not sure if you'd have to ask them if that's alright first or not.
I imagine having the symbols be different as well as the shapes would be good

I can try to edit together a little combo to see how it looks 1 sec

I fully admit the rotated one doesn't look as great as yours originally did, but I hope this proof-of-concept suggestion helps. since I imagine combining the shape & icon changes could help a lot

I did consider changing the icons initially. It was a trade-off between aesthetics, practicality, and my own limited artistic abilities that made me choose not to change the icons in the end.

I like the wax seal idea and feel of the originals and wanted to keep that, which necessarily means the icons must be the same color as the seal. That's the aesthetic part.

Same color means low contrast, which means that if I am for example leaning back in my chair and playing with a controller, or doing something else at the same time and not focusing very much on the game, different icons didn't really encode any information at all. So I kept the icons as they were, only changing something that would give you information even if you can't see the icon due to the low contrast. That meant less work for me, which is the practicality and limited ability part.

Crossing this mod and Luna's Enhancements looks good, I agree! But I don't think I will be incorporating changing the icons, since it's more of a pure aesthetics choice. 😊

I would not be against someone using my shapes and putting different icons in them in their own mod, though. 😉

Thanks for the feedback and proof of concept!
