The problem for most people is that we don't know if two colors have enough contrast because we don't have a design background. Fortunately, there are two international standard tests for color contrast that can be used. In order to make it easy for presenters, I have created a Color Contrast Calculator that can be used to test your color choices against these standards. You can use it for free at http://www.ThinkOutsideTheSlide.com/colorcontrast.htm . Now you won't have arguments with colleagues about which colors should be used, you can refer to the tests to settle the argument.
