Looking for IntelliJ Idea theme for someone red-green colorblind

Question

I'm colorblind and, while many themes for IntelliJ editors are just fine, I was wondering if there was a theme developed with the comfort of someone who is colorblind in mind.

Answer 1

There is also an option in settings to turn on color-blind mode in settings

Settings → Appearance & Behavior → Appearance → Adjust colors for red-green vision deficiency

You can find more details about changes it makes in this document.

UPDATE: As of 2018.3, IDEA has its own high contrast theme. It may be potentially useful in this case. You can access in in

Settings → Appearance & Behavior

The example of the theme is here:

Answer 2

I've had the same problem, no theme seemed to fit my color-blind eye. So I spend some hours creating my own theme. It might not fit you, and it might be ugly, but it works for me :-)

Answer 3

The best solution would be to make your own color theme (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-colors-and-fonts.html) or pick one you like from the internet and edit it to best suit you.

And to answer best your question, there isn't, in my knowledge, a color theme for red-green colorblind BUT there are "soft" color themes, which simply use very little color.

EDIT: Forgot to say that there is also an option (in BETA) to adjust the IDE depending on your color deficiency (http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/09/intellij-idea-15-eap-help-us-test-the-adjustments-for-color-deficiency/), this may help.
