Any hope for colorblind folks when it comes to spotting ore? Being able to recognize ore at a distance is very important to lowering your mining times, and currently it seems pretty rough for certain kinds of colorblindness (protanopia/red-green, in this example):

I'm not even colour blind and I have a hard enough time distinguishing different ores.
A couple ores utilize patterns. I think more patterns should be added to help differentiate them.
This won't really work at distance, but it may help somewhat.

I feel that not only are most ores sort of boring-looking, that the effects should be swapped around a bunch. For example nhurgite has super low base value, while corazium has very high value. Nhurgite has this fancy glowy green color, while corazium is a barely-shining greeny-emerald color. In my opinion swapping the two wouldn't hurt at all, just to help with intuitivity. "Mine the glowy shit" sounds way more believable than "Mine the weird emeraldy dull green stuff"
