[Cdash] [EXTERNAL] Color blind CDash users?

[Tim Gallagher]

I second this suggestion. I, and many of my coworkers, are also color blind and we've had a heck of a time convincing people to use good color maps in visualization software like Paraview. We use colorbrewer2.org also to come up with palettes that work well.

I suggest heading to colorbrewer2.org and clicking on the "colorblind  
safe" button to find palettes that would work well for folks who are  
colorblind. Having a few alternative palettes to choose from would be  
nice; it doesn't seem like switching between a few different CSS files  
would be too difficult.

	My 2¢,
