Bug Description
The default theme chosen for the Ubuntu phone, red and green icons on white background, is confusing for color blind people like me.
Especially when answering a phone call I always have to struggle if I have to slide to the right or to the left; to me they appear identical, cannot distinguish the green from the red one.
In this case different icons would greatly help; for instance an horizontally placed icon to hang up and a diagonally placed one to pick up the call.
