Ok; looks reasonable to me.  The luminance could perhaps be pushed up a
bit...

Emacs should definitely provide a way to switch colourisation off
completely for the users that want/need that.  And, come to think of it,
it should probably switch off that on TTYs, too, if the user hasn't
specified whether the background is `light' or `dark'.

A patch to shr.el to provide a defcustom to switch off everything
colourful would be appreciated.
