But there are 2 issues:
1- make sure that default faces have a foreground that combines well
with its background. I.e. each individual char should be legible
even for colorblind users.
2- try to use visually different appearances for different font-lock faces.
The first issue is very important (e.g. a requirement to enable
font-lock by default). The second is very secondary in comparison.
Stefan "and note that I carefully talk about the appearance of
the faces, and not their color: most of my faces use the
default foreground and background color and are
distinguished by other attributes"
