Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
An estimated 4.5% of the world population that are colorblind. Among males that number goes up to 8%. It would be extremely helpful if the colors of the games were to be more colorblind friendly. Many games are problematic to play because of the colors and some are simply unplayable. Just to name a few that have colors that can be indistinguishable (depending of the type of colorblindness) making the games practically unplayable: Marco Polo (purple and blue), La Granja (green and yellow), Can´t Stop (green and yellow), Downforce (green and orange, black and red). If changing the colors or implenting a colorblind mode not possible, consider please adding mouse-over text with the colors, that would help a lot.Thank you.

Report history
For games where each player has a different color, allow players not only to choose their own "favorite" color, but rather allow choosing a color for each player. Also, unlike the "favorite color" setting, allow this to be changed as a setting during the game. For example in Can't Stop, if the game chooses two colors you can't tell apart, whether your own color is one of them or not, allow changing the displayed colors to something better. This choice should only affect your own display, not what others see.
