[5.x]: Accessibility Issue - Control Panel Status Color Issue for Live/Disabled #15195

Description

As a colour blind user I have always used the 'Use shapes to represent statuses' user preference to view shapes rather than colours for the Control Panel Status icon. Although both Live and Disabled are circles that has never been an issue as Live was a filled circle and Disabled was an empty circle so very clear difference. I'm currently using Craft 5.2 and the Live and Disabled are now both filled circles and they appear the same to me.

I have run the two colours through the Accessibility Colour Contrast checker. For AA conformity it requires a contrast value of 4.5:1 but the two current colours have a contrast ratio of 1.21:1 so far from ideal.

Expected behavior

Three options:

  1. Revert to hollow circle for Disabled (preferred)
  2. Use a different shape for Disabled, maybe Triangle pointing down
  3. Use filled circles with significantly different contrasting colours

Please consider changing the Disabled icon back to the hollow circle.
