Cyan stands out very much. OTOH, I see that dark red is not good
for dark backgrounds either. For dark backgrounds the most suitable
would be a light color with the value between the color values
of font-lock-comment-face and font-lock-string-face, which are
"chocolate1" and "LightSalmon", respectively. And at the same
time it should be closer to white.

I suggest "burlywood2", "sandy brown" or "tan1".

You can type M-C-x on the following forms in emacs-lisp mode
with evaluated (put 'escape-glyph 'saved-face nil) before that:
(defface escape-glyph '((((background dark)) :foreground "burlywood2")
(((type pc)) :foreground "magenta")
(t :foreground "dark green"))
"Face for characters displayed as ^-sequences or \\-sequences."
:group 'basic-faces)
(defface escape-glyph '((((background dark)) :foreground "sandy brown")
(((type pc)) :foreground "magenta")
(t :foreground "dark red"))
"Face for characters displayed as ^-sequences or \\-sequences."
:group 'basic-faces)
(defface escape-glyph '((((background dark)) :foreground "tan1")
(((type pc)) :foreground "magenta")
(t :foreground "dark red"))
"Face for characters displayed as ^-sequences or \\-sequences."
:group 'basic-faces)

That's an interesting idea. Do you suggest face conditions like this:
(((background "green")) :foreground "yellow")

Different weights don't work for me too, but I reset all them in
with a function in a custom face define hook.
(defun my-faces-set (&optional frame)
(interactive)
;; Check if this function is called by `custom-define-hook' from
;; `custom-declare-face' where the variable `face' is bound locally.
(if (boundp 'face)
(mapc (lambda (face)
(when (face-italic-p face frame)
(if (equal (face-foreground face frame) "black")
(set-face-foreground face "gray50" frame)))
(when (face-bold-p face frame)
(set-face-bold-p face nil frame)
(set-face-underline-p face t frame))
(when (numberp (face-attribute face :height frame))
(set-face-attribute face frame :height 'unspecified))
(when (numberp (face-attribute face :width frame))
(set-face-attribute face frame :width 'unspecified))
(when (numberp (face-attribute face :weight frame))
(set-face-attribute face frame :weight 'unspecified)))
(face-list))))
(add-to-list 'custom-define-hook 'my-faces-set)

There is a good package at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ColorTheme
color-theme.el which has the command `color-theme-print' to print the
current color theme as a Lisp function.
