Increase the visual contrast between whitespace and - / > #7

One of the things that bothers me about this colorscheme is that with :set list active, it's extremely difficult to tell whitespace apart from the characters they use to represent it. I'm talking specifically about

>  used to represent a tab (^I)
-  used to represent a trailing space.

The whitespace characters are very slightly whiter, but, I mean, look at it:

I don't care how much of a purist you are, this is very hard to distinguish and needs more contrast. Maybe make them grey like the :set nu numbers.

That's an overlook (I don't use that setting normally).

Your proposal seems good, would you mind sending a patch?

Well, I did find out how to change it. It's SpecialKey, and found that sblue was the easiest on the eyes while also being obvious enough. I don't know what else SpecialKey affects, though.
