When choosing colors for a web site you take colorblindness into account in
terms of contrast (see my first article in CFDJ, "a case for accessibility".
When running my website through Visicheck, it comes out in gray scale, but
is still fully usable even for someone who is blind.
Working with colorblindness doesn't stop someone from using a particular
color, just to make sure that it is still pleasing and usable.

Actually Sandy there's somewhat of a good reason not to use pink. Up to 15%
of the male population has some form of color blindness, with red/green
variants predominating.
