One of the keys to good web design is designing for accessibility. That is making your site easy to use for those with different kinds of limitations: an old computer/web browser, vision problems or even color issues. The designer putting himself in the place of the person with the accessibility issue is the key to solving accessibility issues. For many designers, color issues is difficult to test for because it is hard to put yourself in the users shoes (or vision as it may be). Jeffrey Zeldman suggests two cool tools for testing for color issues. I’ve often used this color scheme generator which has a drop down to illustrate your selection as seen by users with different color issues.
