I am colorblind (which BTW means that it's hard to distinguish certain
colors, not that everything is gray).  I can't see a difference
between the blue and the purple, but this doesn't cause a problem for
me -- I just miss some of the highlighting, which is unavoidable.  The
bold terms jump out at me, but the coloration seems reasonable.  All
in all, the scheme seems reasonable to me.
