There are many things that one should keep in mind when designing for a colour-blind audience. Here are some solution tools found in my desk research:
Monochromatic Colours: Use a single colour in multiple shades, or use black/very dark shade the colour. This is easy for a colour-blind person to distinguish and may bing unity to your design. Using Grey scale colour scheme is also a good idea.
High Contrast: High Contrast in text and background offers Colour-blind viewers a improved readability.
Playing with Hue, Saturation and Brightness: Shows definition and is better distinguishable without even using multiple colours, The designer can stick to a small set of colours, (Maybe even one) and just change the Saturation, Hue and Brightness.
Simulate CB: Online tools such as Colour Laboratory allow you to see how your design will look to colour-blind people by adding a filter. This can help you decide what colours to use while getting real-time feedback.
