There are tools that can analyze a page for accessibility. I don't have experience with them but I wouldn't be surprised if you could include them in a CI/CD pipeline. I don't know whether they specifically control for color blindness and myopia but I wouldn't be surprised if they do. I know they check for contrast and stuff like that.
You could also check things like colors etc using Playwright but I would say it's probably the wrong tool for that job. It's more about testing functionality - make sure a page has the right content and works correctly on a technical level.
Without automated tools this type of thing can take a lot of time - in order to ensure quality you would basically have to click through the entire application for every release. Otherwise you might end up with some minor changes to one page breaking a different page and you'd never know until a tester checked it out or a user complained. With Playwright and similar tools you can catch regressions like this automatically.
