variable-name-face looks no better than the original, and the original
looks good, so I see no reason to change.

string-face looks better than the original

constant-face - I'm neutral about it

builtin-face is a bit too close to gray, can you please find something
with a bit more color?


Given that you are changing faces, how about changing the dark
background, 8 color font-lock-comment-face to "yellow", then we can
obsolete `font-lock-comment-delimiter-face'.
