On Macs, iPhones and iPads, in Accessibility, there's a setting I use that makes the colors more vibrant. Go to Accessibility > Display and scroll down to Color Filters (where the colored pencils are). For Filter Type, click on the menu and select Blue/Yellow filter (Tritanopia).
Also, in the Tahoe version of MacOS, you can make your computer mouse/trackpad pointer a different color. Mine's a nice bright red, making it hard to miss on the screen. You can make only the outline a different color, or only the point's fill color, or both. And you can set it so that if you shake your mouse (if you use one), the pointer will briefly become larger, making it easier to see.
Trying to get my iMac screen replaced I told 3 different techs ‘there IS no number on the back!’ There is. It’s so small, raised black numbers on a black ground, so tiny I could not see it with or without my glasses. Also: metal measuring cups and spoons with etched labels. CONTRAST, people. CONTRAST!

I hate hearing things like this. I have no clue what designers veered thinking.
Wait - I do. They were designing for themselves - not us.
I think mostly they’re young and healthy, and entirely unable to imagine the various restrictions age or illness confer.
