Some minor suggestions for the defcustom of `hl-paren-colors':

* It would be better to use faces, not just (foreground) colors.

* The default value should provide for both light and dark backgrounds.

* The default value should have more colors (faces). Five or six would be good.

* The default colors should be brighter (very different from black). They should
stand out from both the default background (white) and the default foreground
(black).

* Adjacent default colors in the list should be of very different hue, not
almost indistinguishable.
