So im colorblind and i just recently found out that most IDEs use color syntax and it sounds like such a good idea.

    I wonder if IDEs have a colorblindness setting and if not one of us should make a package

    @humanbonsai i believe most of the text editors let you change the colors in text coloring to any coloring you want. The OP should definetly do that if possible

    The IDEs by Jetbrains(IntelliJ, PHPStorm, PyCharm and so on...) should all have a checkbox, where it enables syntax highlighting for colorblinds.

    Try ilovehue to find colors you can distinguish. If you are entirely colorblind (pretty grey, ugly grey, very dark grey) I don't know what to do :(

    I know they are many types of color blindness, but the fact is : they are so many color themes available that you will find one to fit your sight.

    My color blindness is a deuteranopia type, and, after many years of trying themes, I found that "Tomorrow Night Eighties" is the most comfortable for my eyes.

    @RazorSh4rk sorry if it a dumb question, but how do you distinguish color names ? I mean how do you know it's blue or green ?

    @RazorSh4rk wait. It is possible to become colorblind? I thought that was a genetical problem and is not something you can develop. It is not actual blindness.

    @OnyxDarkKnight Its kinda common to lose color vision due to physical damage, you dont just develop it

    I'm uber colorblind, so I generally go with rather bland colours. Need it to be comfy to look at. Idk whst technical term is, but red/green and blue/purple. Kinda annoying, mostly because everyone asks me "omg what color is that".
