See attached screenshot, for emacs -Q -nw, of a Customize buffer, showing
color-name fields and face fields.
"What were they thinking?" is what anyone looking at this should think.
All user input fields, including the giant search field, are BRIGHT YELLOW.
On a black background, no less.
A much better color choice for this would be something like `lightgray' or
`darkgray'. This is nuts. Hard to believe that no one has complained
about this before now, or that it has not been corrected before now.
