Visolve is a free download (Windows/Mac OS X) from Ryobi System Solutions of Japan that "transforms colors of the computer display into the discriminable colors for various people including people with color vision deficiency, commonly called color blindness. One of its aims is to help people with color blindness guess a normal color."

Get it here.

Vischek, of Menlo Park, California, offers a free simulator so you can see how things look to someone who's colorblind.
