Regardless of the colors choice; what I find useful is the logical
separation of color in two sorts: base colors and accent colors. Accents
are ment to be used for things that has to stand out, like a window
number on modeline, or a reserved word in a programming language. Base
colors are those used as bg/fg and other basic things that many packages
in Emacs don't need to touch. For that reason I think Solarized approach
is good for a framework choice.
If 8+8 is enough or not, I don't know. Maybe Batsov's approach is good
about a variation of accents colors, 8 lighter + 8 darker which can be
calculated by elisp automatically, or maybe some other division is better?
For the color choice, it is personal preference; I am sure different
cultures can manage color choices for themselves; i.e; make the
framework provide mechanism not policy.
For the concrete proposal, maybe it is best to start by providing a
framework of logical placeholders as well worded by Dmitry (I think) as
a first step; once there is a framework let then speak about some color
functions and elisp to automate calculation of choice, inversions etc.
