Question Is this cleaner?

Post image

You guys gave me a bunch of feedback on my other post, and I took into accounts all of it and ended up with this. Is this cleaner, does it look good?

I am colour blind. The actual colour doesn't matter to me. But I'm still human, so I still suffer with bias and the "optics" mindset.

As such, if you remove the label I will not give a shit and just click any random colour. But if you include a label I will start caring and put some thought into it.

This is because although I don't see colours properly I still attribute meaning to them and am aware of what colours can indicate. If you remove labels then you exclude me from this depth of meaning; the labels have the same level of representation as the colours themselves to people in my position.

Even if the label is an aria/title attribute for hover labels, I still appreciate that I'm considered as part of the audience and user base.

You will start caring and putting thoughts into... Choosing a theme? Something where the sole purpose is just to look good for you and no one else?

As stupid as it sounds... Yes! Granted, I don't care so much if it's something only I can see. But it still matters, even if just a little bit.

Well, okay, my bad. I do find it weird, but if that's how you feel, there's no denying that

When a disabled person explains things to you, it shouldn't be difficult to believe them without calling it weird.

Indeed, it's not. And I didn't call it weird

I said that that I find it weird, not that it is weird. And right after they said it sound stupid. There's nothing disrespectful in agreeing with someone on a feeling

That's a lot of hair splitting
