The weird color combination makes perfect sense for whitespace-mode, but not to just mark paragraphs as a regularly enabled function. There, the paragraph marks would have to be a lot less conspicuous. Perhaps the show-newlines-mode is really something that needs to be implemented more separately from whitespace.el or at least whitespace- mode. This is the last message from me regarding this topic for lack of time.
