For CMDRs on PC I’m happy to make some coloured HUDs specifically designed to assist with the three types of colour blindness. All you would need to do is tell me the colour hex code for each HUD element.
It’s something I always wanted to do with EDHM but ran out of time at the end of last year.
If anyone has colour blindness and wants to chat about this confidentially then you’re welcome to PM me.
Otherwise just let me know here if you’d like to help put some colour blindness HUDs together, and we also have a discord for chatting about this sort of thing

Your mod is a true game-changer! I've been using it a while with only minor tweaks to the presets. After much back and forth about whether to have a unique preset for each ship/ship type/manufacturer, I ultimately decided my comfort level is a preset for each manufacturer. I've been using the red/yellow preset #2 for Faulcon/Zorgon ships, green preset #3 - I
think - for Lakon and the Saud Kruger brown preset for Saud Kruger (which sounds boring on the surface but in-game the mellow bronze color is really very elegant and classy-looking, perfect for my Beluga). I don't own any Core Dynamics or Gutamaya ships as I have other ships to fill the smaller ship roles and don't yet have the rep for either the Corvette or Cutter). I know you're waiting until Odyssey before any major updates, but I'd encourage you to consider making more manufacturer-specific presets by-name. Either way, this is fantastic work!
To be honest, I really don't think the default orange HUD is a problem for color-blind users and don't understand the silly politically-correct rhetoric being thrown around this thread.
"They got enough stuff (to) deal with as a result of being like that." Seriously? Lighten up, Francis. You act like they're having to defeat cancer. My son and step-son are both color-blind and doing just fine in life. It's never once been a barrier in any way to their success (and neither has any trouble whatsoever with Elite's default orange HUD).
I think some people misunderstand what color-blindness is, perhaps thinking it means seeing in black and white or something. It's not at all like that. Color-blind people still see in color, just not quite the same as you and me. There are some photos that perfectly illustrate the differences here:

In general, most color-blind users don't perceive bright colors, especially bright red and green, as vibrant as others. They often see reds and greens as similar shades of brown, making them difficult to distinguish from one another. The color-blind glasses I linked to in an earlier post work by entirely filtering out the most problematic overlapping wavelengths of light in between red and green, making them much easier to separate.
