Description

I have the most common form of color blindness (red/green deficiency), which is relatively common in men. For order # FKAS-E9C4N2V I did not notice the box at the top informing me that the account was not valid. I assume this is because the border of that box is relatively thin and probably red. If the intent is for everyone to take notice of this information, then it would be best if it were clear to everyone. I would suggest a border that is distinguished from all the other borders in more ways than color, as well as a larger and bolded font. There are many resources on the web about color-blind friendly web designs.

Research direction

Start by locating the web interface component that displays the invalid-account notice for the order flow, then inspect how its border, text size, weight, and color convey the warning. Done means the notice remains prominent for users with red/green color blindness and still communicates the account problem without relying on color alone; manually verify the updated presentation in the affected flow.
