It wouldn't be hard to create an extension to modify some of the graphics in the combat tracker.. but the underlays are tough (based on what I've read about underlays for HEX grids).. so you might want to look into something like that. You can replace the graphics for the factions with happier colors... and even tweak the outline colors without too much of an issue at all.

Yeah, these are called extensions - where you can change the underlying UI definition.
These are the graphics from the CoreRPG ruleset that are used for the various friend/foe/neutral/unassigned colours in the Combat Tracker:
An extension could be written that would contain different coloured graphics.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

@brautigan1: My core extensions alternative Wood and Dungeon themes can make enemies and friends different shapes. Wood makes PCs with circle tokens, Dungeon makes PCs with square tokens. Just use the extension that is different from how your monsters tokens are shaped. IE:

brautigan1 try this extension - it changes the underlay for the Enemy, Neutral and Faction actors.
It will show as Colour Blind Combat Tracker in your Extensions list.

From what I've read.... they aren't located in an area that is accessible to rulesets/extensions. I was hoping to add underlays to HEX grids but that seems to be impossible to do for the moment... modifying the color is likely the same.

You use to be able to mod the color. I did so on the original version of 3.5 alt wound colors. However, you probably want to add crosshatching of some type for a color blind version and that isn't possible.

Registered just to post here. I came across something called EnChroma a few months ago while browsing something completely unrelated. It's a new technology in filter-glasses that allow someone with red-green blindness to see the full color spectrum. I don't know what they cost, or if they're out of development yet, but if so, your friend might be able to benefit from them.

I hope this helps.
