My favorites have changed a bit (or maybe I have changed). RosyBrown4
is unfortunately rather dull. It is possible to use more colored
colors which are easier to distinguish. My latest suggestions are to
use #797900 for strings and #9b6900 for variables.

But I am trying to find better tools to investigate this. If anyone
want to help me translating CIE.c from GIMP/GEGL to elisp, please mail
me.

Is not that what list-colors-display does?
