A Color Blind setting that adds customization to the game. Zos Please.

I like many men am red-green color blind. With this handicap it makes it impossible for me to see the AOE warning circles while I am standing on grounds that are white, green and purple.
With this problem it makes doing VMA and various other content difficult because I simply cannot see alerts that every one else can. I would really appreciate a color blind setting that can be used to help accommodate this problem but could also allow a level of customization for the rest of the games community.

Battlefield 4 was a personal favorite game for me, Not only did it have a color blind setting, But it also allowed you to customize the color of your sight. I would like to see a similar system put into ES:O so not only color blind people like my self can see warning alerts, but also the rest of the community can customize how the game looks if they find it difficult to see AOE's as well. Also this system will eliminate the need to put in multiple colorblind setting for the different variations of colorblindness.
Here is an example of the setting in battlefield that could also be implemented into ES:O

Notice that you can adjust the "glow". Sometimes the glowing effect in the game coupled with how translucent the effect is makes it more difficult for people with a color deficiency. It is very important we can make the AOE alert look more opaque.

    Something that has been asked for, since forever. I thought maybe a pc player had gotten around to making an addon but no such luck. Most be harder then it sounds. But still, being the game addict I am, putting up with this would stink.

    I am fairly sure there is an add on that helps one do this on nexus or something along these lines.

    I hope ZOS actually listens to this. This will help keep me from standing in grey.

    I asked for it 2 years ago. A dev even commented on it and said he was working on it, But here we are...

    On the good side, they might still be working in it. Speed of changes/updates is not a strong suit here.
