I am one of those males who has defective color vision (What the US Army
told me when I had the color vision test when I took my enlistment
physical back in the early 60s.). What I have great difficulty with is
black text on a red background or red text on black or any dark
background. With JTAlert, I changed the background color for stations
calling me from red to orange. With red, I often had great difficulty in
reading the call sign easily. With the orange background, I have no
problems.
I don't worry about the green receive indicator as I can pretty easily
pick it out. Also, it doesn't really make much difference where it is. I
do keep an eye on the transmit location, though.,

Without taking a stand in this discussion, it might be a point to
consider that about 10% of men are red-green color blind. So any color
not green or red would actually be helpful for us color blind people.

Hmmm. The red is a strong visual cue to transmission, so having both
in red would be very confusing.
How about leaving the TX one red as now, but making the ‘receive
channel’ a translucent grey column between the edge of the waterfall
and the line above the audio frequency numbers? I say ‘translucent’
because I’d like to see the scale markers, numbers and red TX marker
through it, please.
Well, that’s just a suggestion to throw in the pot, Sorry I can’t
actually code it!

I played a bit with colors and nothing is really satisfactory.
It's an optical thing...with any color right on top of the waterfall
there isn't any contrast between the green (or any other color) and
the waterfall.
So instead how's this look? A red box when matched.

Or larger red goal posts when separate. Is a different color really
necessary or is the appearance of the goal posts enough?
And it's an optical illusion here in that the goal posts are the same
height as the box.
