Comment:

 I was going to look at bringing this subject up for 3.7 since I wanted to
 see if there was a chance of looking over the style and colors of the
 diffs in regard to accessibility.

 It only caught my attention because MediaWiki recently (6 to 7 months ago)
 released a new version that addressed this in very high detail with their
 diffs mostly in the name of color-blind users.

 Relevant discussions:
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374
 * http://wikimedia.7.n6.nabble.com/RFC-Modifying-diff-colors-due-to-color-
 blindness-issues-td801040.html
 * The final product: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Diff

 Though it's interesting to see that concerns about contrast didn't seem to
 be very important, just the hue.

 Trac has had [http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2270 similar reports] in the
 past as well (but never really did anything about it).
