I looked at all of them and rainbow-mode seems to be a superset of their functionality (except for highlighting "blue" in blue, for instance). It's definitely more configurable and smarter about the major mode. The name may have to change so it's clearer what it does: visual-color.el, perhaps? I'd like to see it become part of Emacs; it would be useful to me and probably many others. Ted
