Message types are distinguished purely by hue (user blue #40a5ff, tool blue-purple #7c8bed, claude green #2ecc71, tool-result teal #1cc08c, thinking purple #ba55d3). For color vision deficiency these collapse into indistinguishable pairs — andrepimenta#41: 'the colour used for You is indistinguishable to me from the colour used for task or glob or read' — blue vs purple and green vs teal being classic confusion pairs. - new setting claudeCodeChat.ui.colorblindMode (boolean, default off): contributes entry, settingsData push, updateSettings write-back and a checkbox in the gear modal (new Appearance group), - when enabled, body.colorblind-mode re-colors all six message-type carriers (left border, ::before bar, icon gradients) with a green- and purple-free palette on the blue-orange and blue-yellow axes (user #4aa3ff, tool #e58a00, claude #1ec8d4, tool-result #ffd21a, error #ff4f3b, thinking neutral gray #9aa0a6), luminance-laddered so the ladder survives even full monochromacy, - off by default, zero impact while disabled.

Message types are distinguished purely by hue (user blue, tool blue-purple, claude green, tool-result teal, thinking purple). For color vision deficiency these collapse into indistinguishable pairs — from #41: "the colour used for 'You' is indistinguishable to me from the colour used for task or glob or read" — blue vs purple and green vs teal being classic confusion pairs.
New setting
claudeCodeChat.ui.colorblindMode(default off, zero impact while disabled), exposed in the gear modal (new "Appearance" section) and the native settings. When enabled, a body-level class re-colors all six message-type carriers (left border, accent bar, icon gradients) with a green- and purple-free palette on the blue-orange and blue-yellow axes, luminance-laddered so the ladder survives even full monochromacy.Addresses #41. Based on current main (ab6e307),
tsc --noEmitclean, no new dependencies.
