Actually, I meant that I see red on a 88-color graphical display.

Installed to master and closed.  It seems there is no need to update NEWS
because the users will see themselves two new colors added.

Hello,

This is a suggestion for a reasonable default fore/background color combo.

Run: 
  emacs -Q

See:
  Customize Group: Hi Lock Faces
  Hi Green B

I see:
  foreground:green1 
  background:white (which I guess is a received setting from somewhere else)

For me, this is a very difficult combo to see. 

I’d like to suggest the default to be for `Hi Green B':

  foreground:darkcyan
