Computer systems vary quite a bit in their color reproduction, and
different people can have different color vision, and not just in a
"complete red/green colorblindness" fashion either [1].
I'd say we absolutely should try to keep the emacs out-of-box color
scheme colorblind-safe, so some people having problems _is_ a reason to
change the scheme. It's just an assumption that everyone is seeing what
you see may be faulty. font-lock-doc (#8b2252 or so) definitely still
looks pretty different to font-lock-builtin (#7a378b or so) on my
system. Are the colors actually used on your system even coming out as
similar hex values to those?
