I'm a bit confused about this. I thought Monkey Bubble was a version
of Frozen Bubble. Frozen Bubble already has a -cb option which is 
for colour blindness. Looking at the screenshot, it's not that the
colour changes: it's that you get symbols inside the bubbles as well.

So if Frozen Bubble has them, Monkey Bubble really should!

Erm. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned this then :)
