Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 4.6.2 (4H1003)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: Differentiating between two states using only blue or purple colors is unhelpful for colorblind users.

Steps to Reproduce: Create a layout in Interface Builder where some constraints are non-user constraints (which cannot be removed) and some are user constraints.

Expected Results: I am able to visually determine which constraints fall into which conditions.

Actual Results: I cannot discern this visually, because the colors are too similar.

Regression: Unknown

Notes: Providing an alternative for colorblind users would be greatly appreciated. Whether it’s choosing more distant colors or changing the shape of the icon, anything else would be better.
