As someone with red/green vision deficiency: if you do this, please don’t forget people like me are unable to distinguish many shades of colours, which would be very disadvantageous here!

It’s not like it would hurt you for there to be supplementary info others can see but you can’t.
I think 9dev was saying that providing only a colorized version might make it unreadable to some people, not merely that they wouldn't benefit from the extra color information.
And it's not like it would hurt the developers to be conscious of their choices.
There's actually nothing the developers can do about this particular issue other than to display all colors and allow colorblind people to see the colors that they can see.

You could still ignore the colors and just read the characters, like people do now, and you could still use whatever color cues you are sensitive to.
