quincunx coloration issue

I have eye problems and my color perception is not what it used to be. I can't perceive the difference between the little quincunx ( :any-quality: ) icons used to show a filter for "<item> of Legendary quality" and "<item> of any quality". When I stare at the two of them side by side for a few moments I can see the difference, but I still couldn't tell you which is which.

I can think of a few ways to address this:
  • Give the any-quality icon more saturated colors
  • Change the any-quality icon to be more asymmetric in the brightness of the corners
  • Change either the any-quality or legendary icon to be a non-quincunx shape.
  • Give the any-quality icon a cirular white background behind it
Or maybe I should find a colorblindness mod that changes the icon to something I can distinguish easily.

+1 for accessibility options, i dont need it myself but any accessibility to make it better for more players is always better

There is already in the game "some" color filter that may helps with saturation and more assymetry in the colors :

If it doesn't help , there is this mod which uses different shapes but it's not yet update for 2.1 : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/polygonal-quality-icons

Hopefully it helps !
