Precisely. This is only an issue if the _only_ difference between an error and success message is the colour.
As long as the information is communicated other ways as well, the colour is just a helpful thing for discriminating the messages and the loss of it by someone that’s colour blind, using a terminal with a configuration that doesn’t allow colour, or even just is sitting somewhere the sun is shining on their monitor and making colours hard to differentiate is… inconsequential.

Except that a color bind person doesn't see monochrome, they see color, but perceive it differently. So the color palette problem isn't confined to only red and green, but also to other colors, because the spectrum as a whole is distinguished differently. Also, red/green color deficiency, while the most common, isn't the only kind of color blindness.
