Many of the basic faces come with definitions that explicitly account
for both light and dark backgrounds (e.g. changing color depending on
the case).

So if a face has poor legibility on a dark background, please report it
as a bug.  That bug won't necessarily be fixed, because there might be
other concerns (we're talking about the defaults, so this has to
satisfy many conflicting requirements :-( ), but it's still the right
thing to do.

And personally, I probably wouldn't use colors for those faces.
Instead I'd probably go with a proportional font with a size that
varies depending on the level.
