We discussed this back in last autumn:

 http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/emacs-devel@gnu.org/12638321.html

I made an elisp file to help testing new colors. It is available here:

  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/font-lock-color-test.el

I think the idea of inviting someone to create new suggestions for
colors is good. Could we please then add them to the test file above
so people can test?
