Thank you for writing and you'll be happy to know that the new
"mutida24" (to avoid confusion with the old and overly colorful
envy24contol) does not use coloration in the same way, and yes, I'd
imagine the old choice of colors would be particularly bad for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#Red-green_color_blindness
.
Although there's been some recent minor changes, this is the look of
the new meters:

Have to say, the bright-green and cadmium-yellow-deep combination is
particularly disgusting!
...especially on that green background. IMO the darker green
background should be less prominent, a much darker green.
Here's a mock-screenshot with the meter background a few shades darker

I could live with that cadmium yellow deep on that ;-)
