I am not a low vision user but I think that there will be a relative lack of customisation in relation to colour schemes across the Mac OS compared to Windows.
You can customise the size of the Fonts by bringing up the view options window in finder with command J. There are a set of colour profiles in system preferences but as I have no sight I cannot comment on these When this issue was discussed before I suggested people contact Apple Accessibility with their requirements. Suitable Colour Profiles may then be include in future OS. It is unlikely that Apple will ever provide the level of customisation that Windows provides, especially as this often on the Windows platform is a contributory factor in instability. Jaws for example used to be famously intolerant of the High contrast scheme. The trade off in the mac is stability against relative lack of customisation. An expensive alternative is apparently Zoomtext which can provide some level of colour customisation.
