The diff-mode colors on a dark-background terminal (gnome-terminal or
generic xterm) are:
Changed lines: yellow+bold on black
Context: white/grey on black
Headers: green/blue+bold on black
These colors work very well and should not be changed
On the other hand, I find the terminal _light-background_ colors
almost unreadable. Certainly the "bold yellow" foreground used in
headers is absurd on a white background. In general changed
foreground colors seem to work less well against a light background
(perhaps because most terminal colors are fairly bright and don't
contrast well against a white background) so perhaps it would be
better to use the default [black] foreground for the context/changed
text, and rely on making the changed lines bold.
