In the "can't leave well enough alone" department, I notice when using the reverse color palette some colors are washed out against the white background.
Submitted for your approve is a tweaked reverse palette.
I agree and will make the changes, but with some very small tweaks.
I left RED as firebrick. DarkRed is pretty much brown.
I kept DEEPBLUE as blue3, so there is some (any) difference between it and plain old BLUE.
I darkened the highlight background just a smidge. YELLOW has slightly less contrast, but I found the very light background to be nearly invisible for small areas.
I found the wrong host color for protected/highlighted at the same time you were fixing it.
