Problem: Adding a filter that makes everything ugly Solution: Design with colorblind-safe palette from start, use shapes/patterns as redundant cues
Problem: Tiny white text that's unreadable Solution: Size options, background options, speaker labels, positioning
Problem: Conflating accessibility with difficulty Solution: Separate accessibility options from difficulty settings
Problem: Burying options in submenus Solution: Dedicated accessibility menu, first-run prompts
Problem: Assumptions about what players need Solution: Include disabled players in testing, consult accessibility specialists
