I see no reason to change font-lock-variable-name-face, seems readable
enough, and its too similar to font-lock-string-face after the change.

Maybe font-lock-string-face could use some change.

I don't have a problem with the current colors for the rest of the
faces...

Please also test on a 256 color xterm (with both white and light gray
background), the colors are very very similar, but not all are
completely identical...
