I also dislike those colors, but rather than turning it off, I like to
change it so it doesn't rely nearly as much on color.  E.g. I make
comments grey, I make strings use italics, and make important elements
(such as names of function at the definition site) bold.
Everything else (e.g. keywords like `if') is set to use the
default font.
