That would be a good change too, but it wouldn't suffice to deal with
the case I was addressing.  You can't use a single multiplicative factor
for all colors, it just doesn't work.

[I've tried a lot of different tweaks to get emacs to generate
good-looking highlights for all colors, and the code I sent is by far
the best I've been able to come up with.]
