The Canvas Gradebook settings now include an option to “View status for colorblindness,” making statuses easier to distinguish without relying solely on color.
To enable: Open the settings panel of your Canvas course’s gradebook, then the “View Options” tab, and check the “View status for colorblindness” box. Then, click the blue “Apply Settings” button at the bottom to save your changes.
