View: It is the time to switch to 4 Color Deck for Live Poker
In my humble opinion it is a bit archaic to continue with:
Red for both hearts and diamonds
Black for both spades and clu
If people started playing poker with a 4-color decks, how many do you think would be suggesting moving to a 2-color deck?
I think whichever one we started with would be very tough to change. But if we started 4-color, I think there would be some some momentum to change it, because seeing flashes of peoples cards would be much more informative.
I could change to four color. Trying to protect my cards live. Online four color is natural. But how many of recreational players have ever seen a four color live deck? How to even think about introducing it? I voted maybe in the future. After all jumbo index hasn't been around forever either. You yourself comfortably seeing what you have may feel and be more important than occasional flashing.
But give the idea 10-20 years to mature, less helicopters etc, I can't predict the outcome.
If casinos did go 4 color they'd have to find another colour to replace green. Just too much of an issue for colorblind players as it would clash with the red.
yeah online i vaguely recall there being a colorblind option for the 4 color deck variants to choose from
The internet tells 8% of the males are color blind. So easily there's one at the table. Color blind friendly decks are then paramount for even thinking about going forward.

sadly color blind people are mostly ignored
for the most part it's a nothing burger, ie stoplights are fine because even if you couldn't tell the difference (most can) then you still have the top/middle/bottom to fall back upon
and there's also the slight contrast between the two, ie even if i see both as red, having them next to each other there'll be two kinds of red usually
but flashing red and yellow lights - which mean very different things and can have deadly consequences are indistinguishable to me so when driving solo and unable to ask a passenger what color it is and there's no car in front of to me "follow his lead" i just have to treat them all like flashing reds and stop to the great annoyance of any potential cars behind me
it would definitely "if there's a flashing light in front of us my colorblind ass is stopping so get ready bruh"
Let me laugh!
If flashing is "a real problem" (it’s not, obviously), then all decks should be monocolored, and these dealers should be fired or retrained.
The same goes for the color blindness issue (hint: suits aren't the same shape as traffic lights).
Pseudoproblems and awful arguments from some smartasses.

pseudoproblems are people pretending the current decks are an actual problem.
😀 Enhancement doesn't mean that there is a "problem."
colors don't accommodate those who are actually blind.

You think they would have more trouble than they currently do not being able to tell red (hearts) from red (diamonds)?
Why do I want to make it easier for my opponents to see their flush outs or count flashed cards?
I used to run a 5 color Sliver deck back in the day
Won more than it lost
I'd prefer monochrome over 4 color
It just doesn't look as good live as it does online. Not sure why, but the contrast in colors just isn't there against the live felt. Also, there's a ton of red-green color blind people that would have a hard time
I would be a massive improvement. I think having a block colour design with the face value would be too far (even though I think it is better for online): but keeping the current design and replacing the existing black or red wouldn't fundamentally change the look and would improve user experience:
I'm not opposed to the idea theoretically, but in your example I can't tell the difference between the J and the Q colors (the suits obviously are clear). Red/green color blindness is a big problem too.
