> ## About the PR
> <!-- What did you change in this PR? -->
> Adds a toggle in the accessibility menu that lets 'progress bars'
(doafters, medhud) toggle between a standard rainbow palette and the
colorblind-friendly Viridis palette.
>
> also makes the medhud bar unshaded to match the icon and to improve
readability.
>
> ## Why / Balance
> <!-- Why was it changed? Link any discussions or issues here. Please
discuss how this would affect game balance. -->
> Medical huds used a (frankly) bastardized version of Viridis without
proper smoothing. Doafters used the standard rainbow palette but with
actual smoothing. I personally don't really like the medhud colors, but
i figured if i wanted to get rid of them it was best to unify and make
it an option broadly so that people who needed it could get more use out
of it.
