Description
When filling in a newdle, it's unclear what green and yellow colors denote. There is no text information that green means "yes" and yellow means "if-need-be". Even the icon (✔️) is the same, just the color changes.
This is is particularly confusing for people who are color-blind or have non standard colour vision. (As an event organiser, I've just received this comment from one of the participants who wasn't sure how to respond to the newdle.)

Research direction
Start by locating the UI code that renders the green and yellow response states described in the issue, then inspect how their icons and labels are presented. Confirm how the states appear without relying on color and test the response flow with non-standard colour vision. Done means green and yellow responses have distinct text or symbols as well as color.
