I find the unhighlighted circle to be about as quick to identify as the red one.
Also, I work for someone who is color blind. This whole attitude of "we must do something really important with color because it's so powerful" goes against the idea that it has to be optional.
I am color blind, and some of the examples here just didn’t work for me. Even normal syntax highlighting is of limited value, and I need to tweak color schemes. Some thing like this could be useful as long as it didn’t get overwhelming (selectable context switching) and the user had some control over the colors used.
Not convinced. It's not exclusionary for people with good colour vision to want to use it effectively.
It is exclusionary not to provide good alternatives for people who don't have good colour vision (or various other disabilities).

Jethrains also does things with outlines, etc - a bit more limiting maybe but worth considering.
But yes, we much make sure we don't end up causing problems here - what about someone using a text-to-speech tool?
