I have no complaint or problem with dimmed or bolded. Dimmed certainly

vice verse), which are completely invisible.
Most programmers aren't color experts. They just slap up what seem like
contrasting colors to them without much thought to subjective experience,
(color blindness, cognitive variance, environmental factors like X11
themeing), color set themeing, look-and-feel coordination, pleasing
presentation, etc.
Thunderbird uses color and I find their use of color constructive.
It's low/no contrast color and "bad" use of color to which I object, (and
95% of color uses are "bad", ime).
I want the "bad" color to go away. And that seems to be primarily font-lock
uses.
Then perhaps the best solution would rather be a color theme adjusted
to your needs? I mean in case that is possible to figure out on a more
general level. Since you say that thunderbird seems to have done that
it looks possible to me.
