I'm currently working with the presentation team on a console video game and I've known that we were going to have to address colourblindness in some fashion. This is a fantastic website and perfect for sending out to the team to get people caught up on the issue so that we can start a discussion of how we can make our interface really colourblind friendly.

Currently the teams in our battle mode are identified purely by colour and so this is immediately a potential issue that we'll have to double check to ensure that our colour choices are ok.

The wordfeud example shows that it's possible to create a unique colour scheme for the colourblind even with the more limited palette. A good addition for this site would be a reference guide on where a designer should start when selecting these colours and what will completely not work and should be avoided.
