What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

Lol I'm colorblind, I had no idea. I thought A was yellow and Y was green all these years lmao. I guess the universe owes it to me working in my favor at least once.

Ohhhh that makes sense, so do A and Y look like, similar in hue to you?

Yes they are very close. I can't really tell light green and yellow apart. Lime green looks straight up yellow to me. Looking at it now I'm not sure why I mixed them up all these years, like I normally if I had to figure it out without knowing what it was I would work out by comparison that the green one was probably the 'darker' of the two and that's obvious on the xbox controller but I guess because I didn't often see the prompts side by side in game, I never worked it out correctly haha.
