(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 :-)
