It reflects my taste.  As you can see, I like my hilighting to be rather
subdued, using nuances of grey (which I typically accompany with changes
of fonts, like italics, bold, ...) rather than the customary
angry-fruit-salad.

Other people chose the faces used on a tty, which is why it's so
different there.
