If you're going to use a background color for this sort of thing, it's a
good idea to make it as subtle as you can get away with (fairly close to
the default background color, which usually means providing separate
dark- and light-background variants).  It's unlikely that it will ever
look good on low-color ttys (because they have no subtle colors).

Also, please remove the "-face" suffix from the face names.

Thanks,
