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.
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.
It doesn't matter which colors the algorithm chooses so long as background/foreground are very distinguishable to as wide an audience as possible, and prev/next are likely to be distinguishable more often than not.
That's a lot of flexibility within which to do clever color math which accounts for the types of colorblindness according to their prevalence.
For the newly made up feature, which doesn't exist yet, but already has an issue?
Simple. Instead of forcing colour, one could retain a no colour option maybe?
Done. Solved.
Everything should have this option. I personally have no colour vision issues, other than I find colour annoying in any output. There's a lot who prefer this too.

And it's not like it would hurt the developers to be conscious of their choices.
