To be able to properly fix this, could you please specify two colors
with their code which would be easy to tell apart for color-blind
people? You could use the tool at http://www.boallen.com/hex-color-code-
generator.html. Thanks for helping us to fix this.

Title:
  Download and send information unclear to colorblind

Status in The GNOME System Monitor:
  Unknown
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

  Eight percent of the male population suffer from some form of
  colorblindness. Therefore it the choice of colors for download and
  upload rates in gnome-system-monitor is not so good. I suffer from
  mild colorblindness, and have problems separating colors with a blue
  base and red or green tints from each other. It would be better to
  switch one of the colors to something very different, for example dark
  red or brown, and keeping the other one blue. As it is now I can't see
  any difference between the download and upload, which is annoying
  since I use it often to check if my crappy internet connection is
  working.

  I sincerely hope you perform this easy fix!
