On a related tangent to this, actually:
I have, in the past, provided users with a "color blindness" preference. I'm not a big fan of preferences overall (too much clutter) but a "visually-impaired/color blind" one is a preference I'd not fight and would even welcome.
What such a preference would do would be to load special style files that would do certain things (like change the diff colors to something more preferable). Sometimes these changes are *horrible* looking to people with color vision, other times not (one site I worked on we turned all links to be underlined).
Obviously, the site needs to work for color blind users even without a preference, but it may be possible to make it *nicer* for them.

Hi folks
please have a look at Bug 11374https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374: Red .diffchange text in the green 'added' area may be hard to read for color blinded users.
Since it's a rather prominent place, I wouldn't mind some comments on the proposed patch by Krinkle, slightly modified by me. The changes would end up looking like thishttp://commons.wikimedia.org/?debug=true&diff=55008419&withCSS=MediaWiki:Gadget-diffRedGreen.css .
