Those with dyslexia or colour blindness haven't got much hope with multicoloured texts.
Not saying you have either like, but you won't be the only one who has difficulty with the colours
So where does that feature in the DDA requirements?
I realise that you cannot cater for people who are totally blind (you would need some sort of external 'next stop announcements'), but why make it difficult for any people with 'normal' sight?
I have neither dyslexia nor colour-blindness, but tell me that the red background is as easy to see from a distance as a simple white number on a black background and I don't believe you.
My only sight defect is age-related long-sightedness (ie I now need simple reading glasses - the sort that you can buy in chemist shops, Poundland or ALDI).
