Looking for feedback on color on interval Bars

Currently doing some feasibility / UI changes to my BreakAway App. Trying to see if the UI would look better if it had some colors vs the current All Blue.

From what I can see, with color, it does look better and one can quickly see which interval corresponds to what zones at a glance and the Red FTP line delineates which interval would be < or > FTP

However, I don’t like the look of it when it’s in Dark Mode. Esp the color for Z6 and Z7 (Currently using intervals.icu color scheme. Is there a way to change this? I can’t seem to find it)

I much prefer Dark Mode.

This is the Workout From Intervals.icu

Tx all!

I’ve got red green deuteranomaly.

Zone 2 and Zone 4 are too similar in light mode for me. I don’t know if they’re the same actual colours in dark mode, but it is easier to tell them apart there.

I do have an issue with them in invervals.icu as well as reference.

Tx for feedback.

I wonder if there’s a way to change the color scheme in intervals.icu?

I don’t really want to re-invent the wheel and have a color picker and stuffs like that.

okay… looks like this is in the TODO list.
I’ll have to cook something up.

I’ve cooked this up. For defaults, I’m following the Garmin Power Zones (which is also Intervals.icu default FTP % for the 7 zones)

I’m also using only Apple’s predefined system colours (that is optimised for Light and Dark Modes)

@David_R does the color picker colours has colours which are better for “red green deuteranomaly” (man, I can’t even spell that word properly. Had to resort to copy paste it)

Tx

Those colours look pretty good for me.

The new 3 and 5 still have a bit of similarity to my eyes, but not enough to be an issue, especially if they are both visible (determination vs differentiation).
And with all the other cues (height, ftp line) I would find it very easy to use these.

Thanks for putting in some time on this sort of thing!

Does any of these colors help make the differentiation? If users can pick another color from these which would help.

Or perhaps there’s another setting possible?

I did find this tho.
