Edit: Concept!
Dragons and items and items are super detailed which can make them hard to see especially if they blend in. What if we used runes? They're fairly simple symbols which if in a solid color would be very easy to identify.
I whipped up a quick example (don't mind the terrible art)

With a dark outline to define the shape and a glow to obscure the background they end up looking pretty clear. Questions can be simple things like 'find the fire rune' or 'what rune is/isn't a flight element' if you need them to be a bit harder then you could do 'what element is strong/weak against ____'
Even when I take off my glasses I can tell them apart due to color. So if all the runes are in very different colors (solid base, outline and glow) it should be pretty easy for most people to see.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS!! What a fantastic idea, that looks soooooo much better!!!

I love this idea! But please don't ask me type charts, I know the light flight relevant ones and that's like it lol. Which is(n't) a flight rune or which is which would be better for me.

Flight emblems are something that can be researched pretty easily. All of them are on the Dom board every week. And a newbie is more likely to know what the Flight emblems are than an upside-down Imp baby. "Oh look, is that griffin a dragon breed I've never seen before?" That sort of thing

It takes
Twelve Years for one Imperial pair to produce a Primal-eyed offspring of a specific sex. Goal-based breeding is dead.
While the emblems certainly are clearer, I don't think they're a good replacement. It takes time to learn to associate which emblem belongs to which flight and could potentially prohibit new players - or people who simply aren't good at remembering the emblems for whatever reason - from enjoying the Coli. Saying you can research the emblem easily is not a good argument, because the point here is that you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to complete the captcha. You should be able to complete the task without having to open a new tab to check which emblem belongs to which flight. It's a safeguard against bots, not a quiz.

It doesn't specifically has to be flight rune - related. What I really like about that concept is that it completely fixes the problem of images blending into the background and still uses recognizable FR imagery. Current captchas are dark and difficult to make out. They need to be bright, they need to stand out and be immediately visible to human players.

I also really dislike the current picture based captcha. The first time I encountered it, it took me a whole 3 minutes to figure out which one was the dragon. Not just because the screen was very small and difficult to see, but because the dragon was a male spiral upsidedown and backwards who was dark grey on a dark background.
Absolutely ridiculous, imo. I don't know how these are generated but the current system is badly done.
Emblems might be a fair replacement, as they are learned fairly quickly or at least easily looked up.

Support, the captchas are too SMALL and I cannot see them properly. Please no actively sound-ONLY captcha - I have cochlear implant, and any sound made by a computer is absolute MURDER on my ears. Aside from that request/off-topic, I'm agreeing with all the suggestions in here.

Support! Please make the captchas easier to look at!
Even with my relatively okay vision, these are really hard to decipher.

With the new coli out this is even more important, because

Look at how much that dragon blends in! The only thing that stands out is the wings, and just barely.

I’m having trouble trying to find the dragon. My friend who is colorblind can’t even find the dragon. It took her 8 minutes of constantly clicking to find it when she got a captcha.
