Even though accessibility is a big issue, no one seems to consider those of us who are red/green color blind.  I just received a new XPS 15 and frankly I love it--except.

The except is Dell (or your manufacturer) decided to make the function key options red (on black keys).  These are impossible to see, even with the backlit keyboard on bright.  A soft yellow would have been a better choice, or better yet, when you press the FN key, the 'function options" light up (using the backlight color) and the "F" key designators turn off.  If you're going to multi-task a key at least make them usable by all customers.

Thanks for your consideration,
Gerald
