I'm colorblind [...] I would ask that the CSM read this article Color-blind gamers: common. Developer awareness? Minimal
I have the exact same issue.
Color blindness issues come up regularly. Why not let us customize the interface's colors as we see fit? Also, more blackness in space (as opposed to bright nebulae) would help a lot. A light yellow module activation timer is completely invisible to me in certain solar systems.

The client needs to calculate some stuff for us, and/or warn us about it. For example, "Incoming damage is greater than your tank can handle" [...] calculators and tools into the mining, market, or industry windows so that they could calculate stuff based on real-time market data, skills, and standings would be nice.
I could not disagree more. Players who pay attention to the combat situation, take the time to learn about various ships and their capabilities, or put in the time to build their own tools for profit calculations, should be provided with an edge over those who want everything done for them.
Modal dialog windows are terrible and should be removed.
It would be sweet to select an overview setting for my scanner from a dropdown instead of the "use overview settings" checkbox. My scanner can use one setting, my overview another.

It was impressive how many great designers where out there competing at the "create a new starship" contest. How about starting a "create a new UI" contest.
This is a fantastic idea. Even better to break it up into multiple contests that can be run concurrently. One for in-space flight, one for market/production/science windows.
I try not to bash Eve's UI -too- much, because we need a lot of important data all at once to be visible. It's hard to make something that communicates that much information and NOT have a cluttered screen. If that information is taken away (for example, velocity, angular velocity, radial velocity) then Eve loses the depth that it is known for.
