Red gen auras give trouble to colorblind players. PS4

Devs please consider giving the option of changing gen aura colors for killers suffering from color blindness. There are maps where I can't locate a single gen from a distance. Specially  annoying for Hillbilly speeding across the map. Previous color worked well enough. Thanks

    I'd like the ability to pick a colour myself. I suffer with red colourblindness so I can struggle to pick out the gen auras against brownish backgrounds. It's fine on maps with an overall blue or grey colour tone. But maps such as Autowreckers or Rotten Fields I find it hard to see the auras.

    I struggle too. I can’t see totems or traps as trapper and hag. I’ve mentioned it so many times in dev streams but nothing gets done about it.

    Well I don't understand why isn't there an option, given that most games today take color blindness into consideration. For me it means no more fun playing killer, no longer able to think of an strategy, cut lanes and just be limited to chase people like in the cartoons

    Look it up then.

    Colourblind people can't distinguish certain shades of colours from others. The most common is a red-green colourblindness. For those people, shades of red are indistinguishable from shades of green. Now imagine playing on Autohaven Wreckers like that.

    I heard McCote say in one of the streams long ago that they don't plan to change things for colourblind folks. In the stream, someone had then pointed out that they had a hard time tracking survivors by following scratch marks due to colourblindness. It's really sad that this game doesn't offer variations for colourblind folks. I really hope that the devs reconsider this request.

    Interesting, I've loved the change as I always struggled to see the old color. Gens would pop that I didn't see, and that's without any colorblindness. Settings are always a wonderful thing though!

    I guess I had to adapt playing without following scratch marks in most of the maps (except the meat plant where I can see them) relying instead on a good headset to track close survivors, but being able to track gens is the central issue of the whole game as a killer.
     I would really appreciate the option of changing the colors in the settings menu. I always change the crosshair colors in the shooters that allow it.
