Even for people who see color just fine, yellow on bright blue is downright pleasant compared to the eyestraining horror of bright red on bright blue. | |

IME, the distinction between warning / error is rarely about color choice -- it has more to do with context and blocking user progress. Whether or not it's a "warning" or "error" ends up being an engineering concern. | |

It could be problematic if your site needs to distinguish between a "warning" and an "error" as yellow is the typical warning color, but I think a well written message or icon could make that distinction for you. | |
