In the patch I sent changing the default colors to something more livable,
I DID put in explanations of where the values were used.  But since nobody
picked up my color changes they also didn't pick up my comments...  Oh well...

Henry also sent suggested color changes that he thought everyone could live
with (including those with terminals that didn't support non-black background).
These color choices are similar to mine and would also be good for low vision
users who need lots of contrast and prefer black background.
So why not just use Henry's suggested colors.
