Description
Currently the SPDX License List website shows "omitable text in blue and replaceable text in red". Although these colours have good contrast when compared to the website's background, some colour-blind readers may be unable to distinguish the colours from and each other and normal text.
It would be beneficial to add additional markers, such as displaying optional (omitable) text in italics and replaceable text in bold.
