Comment (by Paul K. Gerke):
> Thank you for the great explanation! It really helped me understand the
issue. So the key point is that the icons should be distinguishable by
shape alone, even without relying on color!
Yes, I think so. If you agree with the proposal here, I could fix this for
the yes/no case. This involves changing, ''two icons'' from what I see,
the dark and "normal" one for the icon-yes.
I now also took a minute to go over the remaining icons in
https://github.com/django/django/tree/main/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/img
but from the looks of it, the yes/no case seems to be the most important
case where icons would appear side by side.
The `icon-unknown` one also seems quite possible (database entry
blank/unset, I would assume), but font-awesome does not offer a good
alternative here and I also do not want to bloat this simple issue with
other design stuff for now.
-----------
I will create a PR as it seems we zeroed in that this is an acceptable
solution? If not feel free to close it/ignore it.
