I meant green-red colors for the background.  And of course
the neutral color is usable for background (dark grey),
comments (grey), main text (light grey), and keywords
(white), but hardly for all the four simultaneously (unless
on a greyscale terminal) because of too high a contrast
required to keep the gradations easily distinguishable.
