You can find high contrast themes for the desktop, but those are
pretty gruesome unless you absolutely must use them. If your friend
isn't at that point, a better suggestion would be to type "color
wheel" into a search engine and then note the colors that are
opposite each other on any of those wheels. An interesting behavior
of colors it that, when opposites are placed next to one another, they
seem more vibrant. So, for example, if you wanted to choose the colors
for text and background, opposites would be easier to see.
