These changes are neither deep nor wide. Perhaps the confusion arose from remeding two almost entirely independent issues in the same discussion: the flaws in color-distance, taken care of by the first patch, and the contrasting colour computation, which was the topic of the message and patch you replied to.
Sorry about conflating the two -- I should have opened a separate bug for the colour contrast mess. Their only point of intersection was, in hindsight, rather coincidental (css-mode).

Not quite sure what you are talking about here. You previously asked about the exact value of TTY_SAME_COLOR_THRESHOLD. Were you unsatisfied with my answer, and if so, in what respect?
