Depends on the goal: do you want the default to work for everyone, or
do you want the default to be prettier and/or better for most people
but absolutely suck for a few?

I like the former. Which means the defaults need to be black and
white. Given a sufficiently flexible system for picking colors, we can
use bold/underline/reversed as "colors". That might work well under
that constraint.
