Status symbols that are color-blind friendly

Hello!  I'm using the Red, Yellow, Green, and Gray status icons in a report that I present during my weekly manager meeting.  Unfortunately, our CEO is color blind and has trouble seeing the colors.  Would it be possible to add additional status icons such as these but with different shapes, such as circle, square, triangle, and diamond?  I don't like the Red, Orange, and Green arrows, otherwise those would probably suffice.

I haven't seen anything advertised specifically as color blind friendly, but when selecting your column type as Symbol, there are a lot of options that include pictures/arrows.

Would these weather ones work? Sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rainy, or stormy - no colors needed!

Hi,

You could also use emojis if that would help.

The best solution, in my opinion, would be having the letter of the color inside the color dot.  G=Green, Y=Yellow, R=Red, B=Blue.

I too am colorblind, but have a need to use the color dots for status.  I would love something like this to be looked into for future updates.
