Maybe the background color for the error can be changed as well? I just got a colorblind tester and #FAAAAA for example provides a much better contrast than the current color. (ss attached)

Peter, most of the current UI theme was designed by someone who is red-green colorblind (me), and we avoid using color alone for encoding information. The change has been reverted, thanks for brining it to our attention.

Do you have any color blind developers or users testing Galaxy and any
UI changes? Those of you with family members or close colleagues
affected by this are probably well aware of the issue. If not, please
keep in mind that red-green color blindness is fairly common, and that
color alone should not be used to distinguish status changes.
