Yes, the current shade of red is too glaring.

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

Good idea.  A rainbow for background colors and a rainbow for foreground
colors, totally 14 colors, twice more colors instead of current 4 background
and 3 foreground colors.

> Darkgreen is an improvement on green1 for `Hi Green B’.
