Power button LED colors impossible to distinguish for color blind person

Hi,
I have both a DD Pro and a DD+ wheelbase. Both display the current mode (PC, XBox, PS4, PS5, Compatibility etc.) via a color LED in the power button. I'm red/green color blind (deuteranomaly I think) and I can't tell which mode the wheelbase is in by looking at the LED.
It would be really helpful if after switching the mode the wheel (or hub) displayed the new mode for a second or two.
In the same way it displays the firmware versions after it is turned on.
So this is my feature request for a future firmware.
Thanks for reading.

i'm using a ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox btw. Perhaps some wheels already display the mode, I don't know that. The hub doesn't.

OLED wheels do exactly that already. Wheels with a 7-Segment-Display like the Universal Hub simply can not show such things.
The only problem I see is with Xbox mode. Hard to do an X with a 7-segment display.
The other ones are easy:
PC: PC mode
PS5: PS5 mode (I admit it's not ideal that S and 5 would look the same)
PS4: PS4 mode
PCC: PC compatibility mode
PSC: Playstation compatibility mode.
Or just display a number from 1 to 6.
power button.
i not know if they sell transparent color stickers but i'm assume colors are possible change if mix them with other colors,
there are also in market the color blind glasses, not sure how good they are but they exist
The DD extreme steering wheel displays the mode for about a second, along with the color, when changing. But I think you can only get that with the extreme wheelbase.
As said, EVERY wheel with an OLED shows the mode after a mode change. This is not specific to a base.
