If we are going to have colours on a white background, could they all be dark colours please? There are several kinds of red/green colour blindness. I think one or two of them make light green on white even harder to read. (Dichromat with blue and green, and anomolous trichromat with blue and two kinds of green). But light green on white is bad for almost anyone. BTW a factor that could be even worse that colour blindness, is the way your web browser handles colour. If you have a low gamma factor (Macintosh?) , or you only have 256 or less colours, you might be getting a lighter shade of green than the people designing the colour scheme think you are.
