I myself am not color blind, but I recently heard that this guy that is visually impaired is sueing Sony for not making games cater to people who are visually impaired. I found out that there are actually some games out there that have an option for "color blind mode" which changes the color pallette and such. I know D3 will change the color of the item types to help color blindness, but will there be a color blind mode option?

There are people on the development team that are colorblind so it's something we're constantly aware of. Aside from that though as a company we're always interested in making our games as accommodating as possible. World of Warcraft for instance added a color blind mode which helps clarify item quality levels through text and not just color, whether Diablo III will need that option or not - it may.
