[misc.handicap] Screen Colors for Color Blindness

Index Number: 12533

The University of California is designing a new payroll computer program
for the 9 UC campuses.  They are interested in knowing what screen
colors to use to make the program more accessible for people with color
blindness.   (The user will not be able to define colors him or
herself).  If you have any information or references on screen color
criteria/considerations for people with color blindness, please send it
to me and I will pass it along to them.  They are also interested screen
color considerations for ease of viewing for all potential users of the
payroll system.

This knowledge would obviously be useful to any software designers.
Thanks for your help.
