Depending on what you read, 7 to 15% of the general population has some form of colour blindness.
Can this be accounted for in map designs and, if so, how?

One of my clients is colour blind, and when I make maps for him, I use vischeck.com to check my work. You can upload your own image, and it will return a processed version of it that shows what it will look like to colour blind folks.
It has options for various types of colour blindness, and is pretty educational to boot.
