 Hi Lock Faces, Hi Green B, default setting suggestion

'darkgreen' is almost black, and indistinguishable from
the default black foreground color.  A better color
for `Hi Green B' is 'green3'.

I guess there are no hi-magenta and hi-cyan faces because
Isearch uses the magenta color for the current match and the
cyan color for lazy-highlighted matches.

But OTOH, on TTY magenta and cyan are used from hi-pink and hi-blue,
and there is no problem, so we can define two new hi-lock faces.

emacs/lisp/textmodes/artist.el doesn't have many colors,
and colors from the rainbow-delimiters packages are too dull.
