I haven’t seen anybody else talking about this, but the Mekkatorque fight is a massive pain for color blind raiders. I am red-green color blind and the yellow/ green symbols and blue/ purple symbols look functionally identical color wise. The symbols themselves are difficult to read, making them hard to call out for fellow raiders, so colors are the most efficient way to communicate what needs to be done. Please, consult with colorblind people regarding what will be better options!

A guy in my guild made an angry assignment for himself with the shapes and colors listed. For example:
Screw = Red = 1(keybind)
Chicken = Purple = 2
It maybe takes a second or 2 longer for each call but it works.

Yeah, that seems like the best option for right now. It is just infuriating that Blizzard continuously makes these mistakes around basic accessibility. I can accept that their colorblind settings are trash due to limitations of the engine, but they consistently introduce new mechanics that feel specifically designed to be more difficult for colorblind people.
I’m colorblind with similar issues as you. I just use my mouse to click the buttons. The tooltip says what color they are. And after a few pulls I knew which buttons were which colors. I do not fault Blizzard on this. I think the mechanic is freaking awesome, even if it is slightly more challenging for some of us.
