The one color-heavy indicator is the sticky-mystery cell tint difference (lighter purple = marked) during Free Spins, which is subtle and position-dependent — a residual risk for users with reduced contrast sensitivity; it is partially mitigated by the animated gold-star-icon resolution each spin, which is shape-based.",
