According to this classification, yellow is a dark color, as it were suitable as a foreground color for light backgrounds. I think that is a non-issue. Emacs never chooses foreground colors based on such a classification. The only thing Eacs does based on this classification is to set the background mode. So this classification has no relevance for anything else. OTOH, the formula I proposed in January produces the same classification on TTY, xterm and X as: Dark: black red green blue magenta Light: yellow cyan white Could you propose it again now?
