Public bug reported:

To indicate which SIM slot is active, the messaging-app changes the SIM
label from black-on-white to dark-red-on-white.  For red-colorblind
people, this highlight makes no significant difference.  Studies
estimate that this affects about 8% of the male population and about
0.5% of the female population.

Could the visual change be made slightly more noticeable?  Perhaps only
underline the active slot, or render the active slot in a bold font, or
maybe change the color to something with higher contrast compared to the
inactive slot?

A screenshot is attached.  The top row shows no SIM selected, while the
second row shows SIM 2 selected.  To red-colorblind people, they look
nearly identical.

** Affects: messaging-app (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
