11 The Colorblind Mode is an accessibility option added in Patch 1.04.00 under Settings > Accessibility. It re-tunes the in-game color palette so that combat indicators, map markers, and UI elements remain distinguishable across different forms of color vision deficiency. The option ships alongside other accessibility additions in the same patch including Chromatic Aberration and Photosensitive Mode.
