With 2.075's release near, now would be a good time to decide on 
a nice color palette that looks fine on most terminals. So, 
please vote:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/6943

Obligatory:
- Yes, not everyone likes colors. You can turn all colors off 
with a command-line switch.
- Yes, everyone agrees that having all colors be configurable 
would be good. We still need defaults that are going to look OK 
on most terminals.
- Yes, no matter what colors we choose, they're going to look bad 
on some terminal somewhere. Let's worry about the major 
platforms' most common terminals for now.
