When you turn on "confirm bids", the colour of the OK and the colour of the bid are the same - orange.
So how do you tell the difference?

When you have already chosen a bid, and it awaits confirmation, the colour should be different from the OK button.

Orange should mean "click here" and Pass, Double or 1H should not be Orange!

Please fix.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but 5% of men are red-green colour blind.
This meant that in the mid1990's when fluorescence images were being published widely in medical science journals a decision was made by The Journal of Comparative Neurology that when reproducing colour images, Authors were not allowed to use red with green.

This is now the industry standard in biological science.

I'm glad to see that BBO uses white and red for vulnerability.

Another Bridge site allows changing the table colour to 'improve' contrast.

Anything that assists accessibility without impairing function is a good idea.
