The commit message for the change from Orchid to MediumOrchid4 is:

+ (font-lock-variable-name-face, font-lock-constant-face): Darken
+ the colors for light backgrounds.

So presumably some people had difficulty reading Orchid on light

Perhaps a different colour could be used in your use case that would
still be legible, but separate the doc string from the keywords. Do you
