First of all, thank you so much for your effort, RetroAssembly is a huge gift to the community. I am grateful.

That being said, I am having great difficulty using it. I have "Strong Protanomaly," which is one of the most common forms of colour blindness. Reds are extremely difficult for me.

The choice to use red text set against a dark background (ie. hyperlinks in RetroAssembly and other elements) makes the text virtually unreadable for me, and the overall red theme is very painful to my eyes and makes it harder to navigate around. (I feel like I am reliving the 1990s trauma of the Virtual Boy! lol).

The "Light" theme helps a little, but then the whole application is still very, very red, with no options to alleviate the problem.

As a web developer, I know that themeing systems are a big ask -- And there are clearly more important features to work on. But by any chance could you possibly include a monochrome mode for the non-box-art elements, or at least a "Gray" mode to replace all the reds with grays? I notice the red motif is reminiscent of Nintendo Switch -- Maybe do one inspired by the original NES! :D

My eyes will thank you, profoundly.

Thank you for your consideration.
