Is there a way to test if my color scheme is considered accessible for various vision issues?

There is a Mac App our product design team uses called Sim Daltonism. It basically takes whatever is rendered on your screen and allows you to cycle through the 5-6 most common types of color blindness. I'd highly recommend it.

The tricky part is that schemes which work for red-green colorblindness sometimes don't translate for yellow-blue.
