It may seem trivial but, is there any colourblindness support for the graphics in this game? I may have missed them in the settings but I don't know where to actually look.

The main elements that have colourblindness compensation are the economy panel (in game: Settings/HUD Panels/Economy) which changes the income and spending bars from red/green to blue/yellow, and the team colours (in game: Settings/Interface/Team Colors), which provides options to change the team colours to various presets, most notably an orange/teal setup.

There is a setting in game that simulates colourblindness across the entire rendered image, but it's kinda limited in usefulness.

Thanks! I'll be sure to use it if it actually helps.

I'm really curious to know whether they do help. I have full colour vision, so it's hard for me to test, apart from using various colourblindness simulator post-processing systems. Also, if there are any other UI elements that you find difficult to differentiate due to colour contrast being too low for you, please bring them up.

I'd say the colours contrast well enough, The only real problem I'm having is with the team colours, I can't differentiate two of my teammates by colour and have to see for myself by hovering above their units, but this takes some seconds that I would rather not spend on the frontlines.

Is that using the Colourblind teamcolours options? I realize the colour palette is limited, so I'm not sure what set of colours would be both differentiable and fit in some kind of team-side theming, but I would expect there are better colours than what is there (unless you were using Simple, which makes all colours on each side the same).
