Can't tell seems/cuts and basic wireframe colours apart (colourblind)

gamer_io — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 23:23:50 GMT

Hi there!

For school, I've been learning to unwrap stuff, but as I've gotten to more complex models, it's becoming very hard for me to tell cuts from normal wireframe apart. The colours of cuts look the same as sewed edges (to me). I tried changing the colour of cuts, but I can't find the option anywhere. I made all of the colours black, but the cuts stayed the same.

Edited every option to be black, but cut wasn't in there:

Unedited colors:

The one that I want to change isn't in there. Maybe it's possible to make the cut more bold, if that makes sense?

Can anyone please help me? This is quite urgent, and I can't see which edges are cut...

(I have protanopia, probably)

Thank you!
Feel free to ask questions if it sounds confusing.

Best,
Bradley Delaere

The edges are thick and white ,very easy to see by default, just enable it in the UV editor.

@damaggio I can barely see the difference. It's not thick enough, and the colour is too similar to the sewed edges. I just can't see it because I'm colourblin

Well, I see a difference, but I have to look very, very, very hard. And it's complicating things for me.

Oh okay, try different viewport color management, I’m not sure if thickness of line can be changed in preferences.

Hi,
2 things to hopefully make your life more easy:

1. you can change texture border color and thickness (just not where one looks for it first;) )

2. consider changing other colors as well. for example poly surface and lead object color
