Good stuff, sent him an email with suggestions, any more?

Hi Tom, I'm a developer and one of my best friends is colorblind, so I'm onboard. Suggestion - your site clearly demonstrates the problem, but it would be helpful to make it the go-to place for solutions too.
How about starting a list of colorblind-friendly color schemes, for starters? Something those of us who don't need convincing but do need solutions can pull up whenever we're starting a new project and pick the scheme from?
Click the "Show Color Deficiency Simulation". It also helps with contrast. I am not close to anyone who is colorblind but this is a good reminder.
I am about to do a major rework of my site. It is going to be mostly black/white but I kind of want to use a small amount of a rainbow scheme. It kind of works nicely since we sell flavoring. I guess I will just try to minimize the damage and make sure I leave other cues.
