For the time being I'm only focusing on HTML output. That has the advantage that if even the contrast does not help, people can use tools to adapt or remove the color scheme if they need to. Echoing James' comment below, while not everyone knows how to do this, I would assume someone with some sort of vision impairment or trouble with colors would. Right?
What you're missing here, is that someone with vision impairment may well have customised their system already. If your scheme messes that up, they won't thank you!
Can I remind you of the original aim of html - it is to give the END USER the power to control how the document displays. This has already been screwed over enough - such that I regularly find documents that I want to print print something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to what displays on screen, that I don't think we should be making matters worse ...
You should not be choosing colours, you should be creating a CSS with things like <emphasize> and <code> and whatever all those things are. It's down to the USER how those tags display.
