Color blind people

Gentlemen, I'm not completely color blind, but I do not see either reds or greens normally. I've studied color vision, a LITTLE.

I use colorful tabs primarily because it helps me to see the tabs, due to contrasting colors, rather than for aesthetics.

I'm not capable of describing what I see, or don't see, when I look at the same screen that other people are looking at.

What I suggest or request, is a coloring scheme for color blind people. Often times, my tabs will be nicely separated, and clearly visible, with each tab standing out - then I'll open a new tab which doesn't contrast. It just kind of blends in, sort of hidden. Of course, it's not really hidden - I can see the space, and read the text. But, it's less "visible" than the spaces to each side.

And, oh yeah. One annoyance is that the active tab greys, instead of becoming brighter. When I go to close the tab, my eye is drawn to the more brightly colored tabs to either side, rather than the tab I mean to close.

As you can see, my feature request is a little bit of nit-picking. I've been using colorful tabs for quite a long while now - it definitely helps very much. And, you would think that a color blind person is used to his condition after 50+ years, and he could cope with the little inconveniences. But - if I can point out a problem that some people have, maybe you can make it a better product yet.

Forgive me if this problem has already been addressed. It's quite possible that I can change the behavior of the tabs from a menu, but I haven't found the right combination of settings.

Thanks! And, thanks for making my computing experience more enjoyable!
