Blogging mistake #2: Bad color contrast

There's a political news/commentary blog that I visit often because his headlines look interesting. I'm always disappointed when I get there because I can't read what he's written. I'm one of the 15% of people who are partly colorblind and his color scheme is red on black. I can't read dark on dark. I can't read light on light. Most of you can probably read those blogs because the colors are different, but they're losing 15% of their potential readership who rely on contrast rather than color.
