(defvar gnus-face-dark-name-list
'("RoyalBlue" "firebrick" "dark green" "OrangeRed"
"dark khaki" "dark violet" "SteelBlue4"))
These all seem too light to me. Does anybody have a list of darker
colors that look nice when reading cited text?

This is what I've been using since before 5.0:
(setq gnus-face-dark-name-list
'("dark blue" "firebrick"
"dark green" "OrangeRed" "DarkOliveGreen4" "dark violet"
"SteelBlue4" "DeepPink3" "CornflowerBlue" "SeaGreen" "dark magenta"))
DarkOliveGreen4 isn't too satisfactory, and SeaGreen is marginal, but
they basically work against a gray background.

Was the change (some time between 5.2.7 and 5.2.10) for the dark
background to use:
((eq gnus-background-mode 'dark)
`(((and (not mailp) (eq level 1)) .
,(custom-face-lookup "LemonChiffon1" nil nil t))
((and (not mailp) (eq level 2)) .
(namely LemonChiffon1..4 and aquamarine1..4) intended to force people
to learn how to use the customize code? :-) Those colors look rather
indistinct on a black background -- the original colors (ie. the ones
still listed in the texinfo file!) are much clearer to me...
Perhaps this is a difference in gamma-correction across displays
(since that's something X totally fails to handle...) and maybe it's
just my preference for primary colors... but these pastels are just
not very distinct.
(gnus is, of course, a wonderful thing, and color customization is
mostly a matter of opinion, so feel free to ignore me - I've got a
.custom.el set up now :-)

Probably a gamma-correction thing. Gnus 5.2.13 should have clearer
colours.
