The problem is, there is already a face that maps to yellow on tty's:
font-lock-variable-name-face.  I think we should avoid faces that use
identical colors for different purposes.

(There are other font-lock faces which map to the same colors on
tty's, and it's on my todo to fix that; but I don't think we should
add more cases like this.)

I think comments are using reddish colors for such a long time that we
shouldn't change their default color in any radical way.  Is it
possible to find some reddish color that would look better on X?
