That's about the 'match' face.  I thought you were asking about xref
and project.el, I guess I was confused.

The colors you suggest seem okay to me, with a possible exception of
lemon chiffon, but I only tried them on the default light background.

I'm not sure I agree with "used similarly".  Are you talking ab out
the faces in the XREF buffer?  If so, they don't show matches within
context of a source line, they show symbols.
