✪ Summary:

While going through battles in Explore, I have noticed that it is very difficult for me as someone who has sight issues and is slightly red colour-blind to tell what the current versus max health for my lion and the opponent is. As of right now, the colours very much seem to be too close in tone to one another to make a discernible difference. After some experimentation with a new monitor, I've also discovered that some monitors do not display differences in red tones very well (I am unsure about other colours) and feel that this may help remedy that problem as well.

This is what it looks like in-game.

"I wanted to add too (for those of you who are not colorblind), I tested the battle image in Coblis (color blindness simulator) -

This is what it looks like for Weak Red Colorblindness (partial)"


"And for Red Blind:"


"But the best way to understand the problem is to see it in monochrome - the contrast on the health bars is, actually, not very high:"



"The best way to solve this would probably be to put numbers over the text, or outline the actual health bar versus the full health bar with something like white, so that the borders of one could be discerned easily from the other."

✪ What I Am Proposing:

[+] Outline the remaining health with a 1 or 2 pixel line of white colour, to make its boundary more easily distinguishable from the background, no matter what colour it is.

[+] Adding a (preferably white) overlay on top of the health bars of both the enemy and your King that display the current and total health. Ex. (78/100)

The above fixes could have a toggle in your settings where you can choose between the white outline, and the white health number overlay.

[ADDED] Suggested by 🐐 Nile (#90628) -- Add number overlay displaying total and remaining health of both the enemy and your King.
