You can check colour contrast automatically using the WebAim
checker<http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/>.
 (I've just done so and it doesn't like the blue on green, as I rather
suspected!)

There's a fairly flexible Wordpress responsive theme called (logically
enough) Responsive <http://wordpress.org/themes/responsive>, which could be
a place to start!   I don't know what calendar control/plugin you're using,
though.

In fact, if you go to
http://wordpress.org/themes/search.php?q=responsive you'll
be presented with a whole list of themes containing the word 'responsive'
in their descriptions - there musty be something suitable there!
