Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I am red/green color blind. The choice of red and green tones in the partition editor section of the installer is very hard to distinguish. It would be better if there was either a black line between each partition or if the red and green colors had a greater contrast when put aside each other.
Color blindness doesn't necessarily mean I see only black and white, as I see both red and green though I'm "red/green color blind". Still it takes concentration to see the difference with the current choice of colors.
As per statistics color blindness is pretty common. I think the design should respect that.
Thanks.
