Good catch! The colors do not take into account red-green or blue-yellow (rarer) color-blind users. A is orange B is green C is blue No D E is yellow F is purple G is pink
If you're going to use colors to convey information, you need to convey the information in another manner as well for color-blind users. That's why a touch screen would be more effective here. But now I see that the letters which are always present actually map to the letters within the map. I didn't catch that the first time around, I just mapped the section color to the color button, so for a new user, especially a color-blind user, this might require some trial and error.

The only clear colours on the "Select a Destination Region" screen are B and F. The other colours appears to be the same colour A and B are yellow and C and F are Blue also I am not sure why the colours yellow, blue, greenish and gray is being used. Why gray for G?
