In short: Metro looks different because it uses different colors. I guess this shouldn't impact readability or accessibility in most cases due to the use of simple, sharp icons and white text. But I guess the white text could result in problems when the color blind perceive a given color as a light gray, resulting in little contrast.
Thanks for the information and the link, that is a really cool site! I'll make sure to use it on future projects just to make sure I'm not completely screwing over color blind people.

You can use e.g. this link and then select different types of color blindness via the popover on the right:
