Showerthought: I finally checked my traffic light icons with a simulator

I hit 50 different UI screens reviewed for colorblind issues this week. The big shock was seeing how my 'green for go' light icon just blended into the gray for someone with deuteranopia. Has anyone else found a specific icon set that REALLY works for stop/go actions?

Yeah, seeing that green just vanish is a real gut punch. I mean, you put in all that work and the meaning just disappears for some people. It really makes you double-check every choice.

Color's tricky, but shapes matter more for that.
