WHY, just why...

I used to roll my eyes at Rigol's choice of "light blue" and "dark blue" as two of the channel colours (plus yellow and magenta). But with my new Siglent scope, I find that my slight colour-blindness makes the distinction between yellow and green non-obvious for me. Maybe Rigol were actually considering that and omitted green for a reason?

I wish I could adjust the colours on the SDS800X HD (as, I believe, it is possible on the higher-end Siglent models). I would only want to tweak them a bit -- making the yellow a bit more orange for example. Hence, no need for custom color rings on the physical probes or for RGB LEDs on the scope buttons which adjust to the custom colour. A software change would be enough to make me happy.

I don't use the rings because the color is there next to the BNC.
Also, the channel selection buttons are also colored, and in my case they are very different, I couldn't even confuse them.
Colors can be distinguished quite well on the screen.

What's more annoying for me is that if "color grade" is turned on, everything is blue...
I don't understand why it wasn't possible to use the channels' own color... Compared to Micsig's color grade, this is a joke anyway.
Also, why not green instead of light blue. This was a very poor decision from Rigol...

Its not just rigol! Many, if not all. It is kinda nice to change the color of the channels, but you cant really do this to the outside of the sockets (at least without letting it look ugly)!

Why are these idiots choosing "light blue" and "light blue with a tint of green"? There are bloody colors called BLUE and GREEN, that are easy to distinguish!

I cant help myself but think there is a agenda behind this. Maybe no manufacturer wants to do good stuff, to not let the others lose too much, so everyone can generate enough revenue? Its the same with the software, that could be easily made better. At least on the rigol side...

Show me one oscilloscope from the other manufacturers,  that has a green color on a channel!

Ah, c'mon.  Nothing like ol' Commodore choosing light blue text on dark blue ground.  That can only be beaten by the flag of East Frisia.

Seriously though.  About 10% of males are "colour blind".  That however is usually just "colour weak", i.e. there are three fully functioning kinds of receptors, just their peak sensitivity is closer, i.e. their ability to discriminate colours is diminished, e.g. unable to distinguish pink from white in low light conditions.  Really strong contrast help and for the oscilloscope's probes only four colours are needed.
