Not to be disparaging, but the output on some of those is
really pretty grainy, and some of them make the menu text
harder to read.  Is there really any form of color blindness
for which black needs to be transformed to yellow?

I don't think emacs and gnome-terminal are good samples
to show off what you're doing.  You should post some
screenshots of an interface that really is problematic
for most color-blind users.  How about a screenshot of
Five or More using the "balls" theme?  I can barely see
any difference between the green and yellow balls.
