From what I’ve seen, clarity matters more than style. In one office I worked in, color alone caused confusion, especially during busy hours. When teams added clear shapes, icons, or physical position changes, communication became smoother. A simple symbol or flag position often explains more than a color shade. I once helped adjust our setup after feedback from a teammate, and it changed how we thought about inclusivity. If you’re looking at practical examples, you can check the colorblind-friendly flag to see how non-color cues are used. What made the biggest difference was consistency. Everyone learned the meaning quickly, regardless of vision differences. It didn’t slow things down or complicate the space, but it reduced awkward interruptions and made the signals feel fair and usable for the whole team.
