You might like to consider white text on a black background. There are indeed
many colour combinations with use with magnification readers and CCTVs but this
is presuming people have the screen readers. I believe that research has shown
that a yellow background with black text is easy for people to see.

possibly, i'm always up for a challenge half the time though they aren't
willing to take suggestions for accessibility in to account especially
if they're catering for sighted people as well. its worth a try though,
you could suggest it to them and see if they are willing to redesign the
sight or have it redesigned for them?
