I also have deuteranomaly (the most common type of red/green colourblindness). May I help with suggestions for colours please?

For a 4 player game, a good list is:
1) Blue
2) Orange (But not a dark shade. Like the fruit colour or a bit lighter is good.)
3) Dark brown
4) White

Please feel free to ask me questions as I've been part of research on colourblindness before.

What if each player could customize the colors on their side?

Would it help if there were a white or black player number on the board pieces? Then for those who can't tell the colors apart, they could just go by the numbers on the roads, villages, and cities.

Why not add a black or white player number 1-4 on the top center of each road, village, and city. Then, no matter what the colors are, the parts will be able to be identified by player number.

"Color blind mode" (suggested by terrence on 2019-11-28), including upvotes (3) and comments (3), was merged into this suggestion.

Even a small roman numeral/number system attached to the pieces on the board would work? (Green is 1 or I, Blue is 2 or II, Orange is 3 or III, Red is 4 or IV)
