Details

Steps to reproduce:

Enter a misspelled word into a text area

Actual results:

When a word is misspelled in a text area, a red underline appears under the word and enables spellcheck replacement.

Expected results:

For those with protanopia or protanomaly (red-green colorblindness), it is difficult to see the underline at all, and very much less so on dark backgrounds. It would be great to have a preference option for accessibility reasons to either be able to change the color of the underline, highlight the entire word instead of an underline, or (preferably) both.
