I did a lot of research several years ago in the use of color in user
interfaces that will be viewed by color blind people. The results we got
showed that a wide range of colors works better for them than a narrow
range. Of course it is not a good idea to uses exclusively bright red
and bright green for everything on the sight, but a dark green next to a
bright red with other colors will work quite well. Even for people with
magenta-yellow, or violet-orange color blindness using a broad range of
saturation's works better than having everything in restricted color ranges.

Another thing to consider is the large number of people who suffer some form
of color blindness. This may further limit the palette you have available.
