I used yellow for health to avoid red/green colourblind issues
I love the possibility of having a red/green colorblind character and having to roll to hopefully pick the right potion when they both health potion and poison in their bag.
But poison is purple. It's acid they'd get it mixed up with.
I feel like any decent adventurer would develop a system. I hear blind people will fold their paper money a certain way so they can differentiate between the different values...
Sure but it falls apart when an asshole gives them a dollar change instead of a 20 and they fold it as a 20. Any system relies on having trust that the system was done correctly as you can't verify.
Most countries have varying sizes and tactile features to distinguish denominations.
I'm not sure if that's a joke? If you have red/green colorblindness, you wouldn't be able to distinguish yellow either. You'd just see blue and not blue.

You can use this to come up with a palette, mine was safe
But you could have just used a shade of red that looks the same. It would be just as safe, and have red health potions.
