@00travelgirl00 there is also the custom column “Marker” on the post list pages, is this sufficient as an additional marker besides color?

Technically yes, that column would pass a Accessibility Test.

But I see a few issues with that.

Second it needs a lot of space and if multiple columns are visible it can be really hard to see it properly.

It would be better to add a second style at the same place where the color is
