Call for testing: colorblindness vs side-by-side diff

[cowwoc]

Augie, Matt,

I'd like to move this discussion forward. Is it possible to get consensus on
replacing the current color scheme with one of the two candidates I've
listed below?

I received 3 thumbs-up for candidate #1 so we've already got something to
start with, but I think candidate #2 is actually superior. The latter looks
better for people who do not suffer from color blindness, and based on my
tests it should be color-blind-friendly as well (Augie should be able to
confirm this).

Please let me know how to move this forward.

Thanks,
Gili
