Simple icon test made a huge difference for me

I redesigned my neighborhood flyer for an open house last weekend. Swapped red and green status markers for plus and minus icons instead. Took maybe 10 minutes in Canva, but three visitors mentioned they could actually read it. Anyone else tried swapping symbols for colors?

Great point about accessibility. Color only markers are a REAL pain for people with color blindness and that's way more common than most folks realize. Small changes like that can open up your content to a whole lot more people without much extra work.

Color only markers are a REAL pain" - absolutely @robinmason. Simple fixes like patterns or labels make a huge difference with barely any extra effort.
