If it helps to judge the situation better: I tried to find the minimal changes to the colors that don't trigger me and they are so close that most colleagues did not even notice a difference, especially as they don't care about colors at all, they just want to not deal with the topic. I am not a designer and not saying the colors are great, this is just to illustrate how little change i would be happy with. Also having to deal with triggering colors in designs happened only the second time in 15 years so its not like this is happening all the time.
feel free to compare: green: #00FF96 (i hate, looks to me like a mixture of soulless startup color, poison and dentist) -> #33FF8C (acceptable)
blue #3200FF (i hate, gives me the feeling of not being able to focus my eyes and being a generic placeholder color, soulless) -> #0B06FF (acceptable)
