Yellow doesn't show up worth a hoot.

But perhaps changing the goal posts a bit might help?

One option...when they match you see this (could make this look like it does now with equal green/red...just takes a bit more code)

When they don't match you see this so it's much more pronounced.  Getting the green line away from the waterfall helps a lot so you can see the contrast with the white background now and chaning to dark green helps too.

When separate you see this

New way.  This should help the color blind too as the more pronounced goal post sides are easier to differentiate. What's a bit ironical here is when you separate the green from the red you lose it's visibility since you don't have the red to get your focus.  So the green goal posts need to be more pronounced.

Hello Michael:
  I am not comfortable with same color, inverted goal posts in that it is not as easy to discern or remember which one is TX or RX.  How about American LaFrance fire engine yellow for RX, officially described as “national safety yellow”.  Some refer to it as “lime green”.
  Many thanks for your efforts.

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.
