ls coloured output for others writable directories difficult to read

Original Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/498212

The default dircolours for an others writable directory is set as blue
over green:

STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE 30;42 # dir that is sticky and other-writable (+t,o+w)
OTHER_WRITABLE 34;42 # dir that is other-writable (o+w) and not sticky
STICKY 37;44 # dir with the sticky bit set (+t) and not other-writable

The end result is a combination of colours that is rather difficult to
discern (light blue over lime green), at least on my tries.

I am not sure what colour would be better (I have a bit of a problem
with some colours), but I tried red over green, and it is readable:

OTHER_WRITABLE 31;42 # dir that is other-writable (o+w) and not sticky

Would this change be acceptable? If so, I will generate a patch for it.

Thanks,

..C..
