The problem is that standard emacs faces seem to use only colors to
disambiguate stuff. E.g., I've just visited an elisp file with emacs -Q
and keywords, functions, strings, and comments are displayed with the
very same font and attributes except for different foreground colors.
So simply stripping color specs would be equivalent to disabling
font-lock-mode altogether at least for elisp mode.
That's why I've suggested we might want to have a `no-colors' theme, a
`red-green-blind' theme that either use no colors but other face
attributes, or only a restricted set of colors, respectively. Well, and
somehow those themes would need to adjust new faces as they appear,
e.g., when a third-party package is loaded, too.
