There is a federal standard ("Section 508") that requires information to be
presented in a way that people with disabilities can perceive it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_508_Amendment_to_the_Rehabilitation_Act_of_1973
Hard for me to believe there is no product out there that satisfies 508 for
3270 terminals.
I just Googled <3270 section 508> and got a lot of hits that appear to be
relevant.

I know we're getting a little far afield from the original question, but if you
have a red/green deficiency, as I do, red on white is nearly indistinguishable
from black on white. I often find myself raising my hand in presentations
asking which bullets are highlighted as I can' t tell. I am curious as to how
highlighting works for a blind user.
I do recall back in the late 70's we had a blind programmer who had what I
presumed to be a braille device attached to his 3270.
