I am color deficient - I have trouble distinguishing some shades. It's hard to strategize, can we pick colors that are easier to distinguish for people like me?

Primary colors are good. A lot of people are red-green color blind. Also, shades that are close on the color wheel tend to be harder to distinguish.

I would gladly help select a palette if desired.

+1 if a reasonable palette could be found

It's honestly not hard to find a suitable palette. You just need someone who knows what combinations to avoid, and pick colors that don't look like one another to people who have troubles.

I agree with this. Wholeheartedly.

a non color version could be substituted for people with problems it could go white, light grey, dark grey black, black white verticle stripe, black white horrizonal stripe, and splotchy. If a person had trouble they could just click an option box or something and use the substitue mode. I admit this scheme isnt without its problems though

scuba1, what are its problems?

There's no need for a non-color scheme. It's very rare for someone to be truly color blind (i.e. seeing in only black and white). It's much better just to pick appropriate colors.

Everyone one says primary colors. Why? We don't even -have- seven primary colors.

It's simpler than just primary colors. Primaries are easy to distinguish, so they are good choices in general. But it's just a matter of avoiding some color combinations in favor of others. If you've ever seen those color splotch tests you might have a better idea of what I mean.
