That is super helpful. I've done a little bit of research on this, but apparently not nearly enough because I haven't really thought that much before about the distraction angle at all; I assumed if I got the contrast right for everyone, that there just wouldn't be any other problems with color.

I guess this is a good argument for not just testing in grayscale, but at least thinking about actually shipping the grayscale mode or individual color channel adjusters. Because I know in a worst case scenario that a grayscale test will be accurate to what people see if I provide a toggle that turns it on in the final product.

Just... yeah, to your point, need to make sure that whatever colorblind mode is shipped is actually an improvement :)
