Accessibility should not be a user preference.
I also do not like the idea of site specific text size change widgets:
If you want, I can even dig up the full discussion I had with CCA that ended
in them dropping the text resize widget from their wiki's design ;).

What about adding a couple of style markers on
the body tag? For
example classes for "high-contrast", "avoid-red-green",
"avoid-green-blue", "avoid-red-yellow"... or?
Or perhaps as additional styles stright from the mediawiki-space, that
way the accessability issues can be crowdsourced?
There was also a question about scaling of content text on OTRS some
time ago. I'm not quite sure but I think the idea was to use an other
font in the content as he had to read that, while all the other text
from the portlets he learned over time so if that text was difficult
to read it didn't do so much.
The text size proposal was to add simple scaling buttons to step up
the text, and I would propose to store the set size in local storage.
The same applies to color I believe, as it should be possible to
change it without logging in.
At nowp there is a link in the sidebar to a page describing how
visually impaired can chage skin. It uses the simpleskin
