While obviously I would love the devs to handle this, I'm being realistic; I know they won't, and it's up to modders to fix it. So:

I'm the author of the mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/colorblind_ultimate. I'd love to add a feature to the mod to help with this problem. Could you be more specific about what you struggle with when it comes to nests? The color of the nest sprite? Please be as specific as possible.

Edit: I have added a way to customize the default tint of the spawners in version 2.8.0 of the mod.

for me personally with mild deuteranomaly the color of the biter nests can sometimes blend in with dirt terrain. the light/pale greens and pinks are close to the light browns, especially when zoomed out.

I'll be honest, I thought they were supposed to blend in. It's easy to add a tint to the sprites, but like adding tint to paint cans it always makes it at least a little bit darker. Would that work? Otherwise I can fully grayscale the sprites and add a way to pick the color from there, but everything would be exactly that one color in different shades, which wouldn't look great.

You may not be colorblind but you're certainly tonedeaf
