Colourblindness friendly Engram Colours

I'm totally on board with Bungie's idea that legendary drops should be exciting and celebrated events. I find it absolutely impossible to distinguish between a Rare Engram drop and a Legendary Engram drop. I'm colourblind - and have protanopia (basically, no red cones in my eyes) - so blue and purple are indistinguishable to me for similar intensities of colour. While it does announce the Legendary Engram once it's picked up, I've been excited inappropriately or blasé about a drop at least three times a play session. It'd be really great to not have to play the weird guessing game that colourblindness pushes on me, even if it is a relatively minor thing. I am sure that the other colourblindos feel the same. Usually we're forgotten in games and it's too minor an issue to release a patch for but given the aggressive update and fix schedule Bungie's been undertaking hopefully you could fit something in? Tl;dr - colourblindness makes it next to impossible to differentiate blue vs purple for the Engram colours. Please change the shades to make them more dissimilar, add a differentiating effect or change the colours entirely.

    I just assume everything is green. I rarely see blue and never see purple. Seriously I have had only 3 maybe 4 purple drops ever. Are they real. Are they extinct. I'm considering searching for the yeti in Russia next patrol, I think there is more likelyhood of finding it than a purple engram lmao Edit: within 5 minutes of playing last night I got 3 purple engrams. One was a weapon. Two ended up being coins. Coincidence???
