ColorSym is a free, open-source color-identification system that pairs every color with a unique, memorable symbol. When color alone isn't enough to tell things apart, the symbol does the job, so the roughly 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women with color vision deficiency can read your components, charts, or UI with confidence.

In video games, colorblind mode often adds patterns to colors if they are used in, say, a color coded puzzle. These patterns are enough to distinguish between the colors (usually all that's needed tbh) but having a known set of icons could grant accessibility for more unique puzzles, like ones that involve wordplay, mixing paint/lights/drinks/etc.
