Whether it's `desirable' or not, I really don't know -- but it seems
like a non-unreasonable default position.
As for possible, of course it's sometimes not possible, but quite often
it is. When it isn't possible to use _literally_ the same color, I'll
usually try to use something similar in spirit, e.g., if the existing
default is something like dark-blue, which looks good against a
light-background, but not against a dark-background, I'll often try to
use a light-blue for the dark-background case instead.
And lastly, please don't be so condescending. We may have different
tastes than you in some cases, but we aren't idiots.
-Miles
