Best color settings

Hi all,

I'm wondering what colors most people find pleasing to the eye on a web 
page (especially for background on a page that is mostly text) and, in 
particular, which ones are best for those with a color blindness.  For 
example - if anyone does have a red / green (or other) color blindness out 
there - I'd be interested in knowing exactly what it is you see if the 
background is red and the text is white (for example for a highlighted 
portion of text).

Any tips / advice gratefully accepted.

Cheers,

Rob.
