Cynthia Brewer's site (http://colorbrewer2.org/) offers the option to select
colour schemes to avoid problems with colour blindness. I don't know if they
comply with US federal standards, but it would seem a good place to look.

All,
Another piece of the equation along these lines, is paying attention to
color blindness types etc. There are some federal standards out there as a
matter of fact related to the serving up of color content over the web related
to color blindness.
Something else to think about.

Two places I'd suggest looking:
cpt city provides a wide range of palettes for mapping & other data that can be
adapted to mapserver, including several standard palettes:
http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/
and colorbrewer allows you to set up & preview various optimised palettes for
maps:
http://colorbrewer2.org/ (also as Cynthia Brewer's palettes at the above site)
