Aha.  But then a condition like ((class color) (background "blue"))
would be mode appropriate.  Not for this release, though.

For light background color "dark red" does not stand out.  The color
for dark background for (min-colors 88) perhaps does not stand out too
(if bright colors which don't stand out are possible at all).

But there is no color for 8-color terminals which does not stand out.
Thus, there is red for (min-colors 8).  Another choice would be
not to highlight escape sequences 8-color terminals.
