Re: Match color fix

[Richard Stallman]

    The most widespread background color to highlight matches nowadays is
    yellow.  It is used by many popular programs like Firefox to highlight
    search results on the Web page, Web services like Google to highlight
    search terms on the result page, and by many other programs and web sites.
    It is a good color because it is very noticeable, and at the same time the
    text on yellow background is still well readable.  It would be good to use
    this background color for the `match' face on the default white background
    in Emacs.

That is good reasoning, so I installed your patch.
