It's easy to ignore something like color blindness unless you've got it, or you know someone who has it. Something else to consider (though, this usually applies to commercial games with a big enough budget), is subtitles for voice acting. Most games now do have them, but there were offenders in the 90s that didn't have a subtitle option, or only had subtitles in certain versions (see Blade Runner, and various adventure games).
