Hello
I keep asking myself why the error text is an unreadable red #933938 in the kode editor of the KWGT app, as well as the other Kustom apps. I did some research, and some trial and error to find the perfect replacement for the color.

Yellow, or more specifically, #ffd000 is much easier on the eyes for people with light sensitivity. I have included images of the current design, the hex codes, as well as the ideal colors.

Also, the nice thing about the yellow is it symbolizes hazard or caution, so it goes with the context.

All three colors can be viewed with their hexes here https://coolors.co/palette/ffd000-606060-933938

One final comment

Place the url of this post in the text field on this site to see how hard it is to see the red and gray combo. The site simulates what it would look like with various vision impairments.

Notice that the yellow is visible in each of the dropdown choices, but red is consistently unreadable. Red becomes virtually invisible for those who can only see monochrome. Anyway, here is the site.
