What was said about Chromagun
Chromagun gave each base colour a symbol so mixed colours stay readable. Yellow gets a vertical line, blue a horizontal line and red a circle. Combining the symbols shows orange, purple and green, and black has its own symbol.
Because the symbols combine, players can play fully whatever colours they can see: "That means you can play the game fully, no matter what colours you can and can't see." Symbols can sit in an optional colourblind mode so they do not clutter the screen for everyone.

Gives each base colour its own symbol (vertical line for yellow, horizontal for blue, circle for red) and combines them for mixed colours, with black getting its own symbol.
