Yes. I agree. Let’s not have that.

'light green'
  for hi-green is actually the background color highlight and black is foreground for the text

'darkgreen'
  was what we could agree on for `Hi Green B’

I’ve never been able to workout the color choices for TTY and use 'emacs --color=no'

I have no opinion in relation to the TTY color choices.

The rainbow/artist’s coloring pencils theme for hi-faces is nicer to have for the wm-frame-windowing environment.
