Indeed some almost-blind people read much easier on black background.
As for list views, well in BeOS they used DOCUMENT colors, so they
should use the document selection color when we add it.
Interestingly the color schemes of menus vs drop-down vs listview is one
of the most evident differences between GUIs and toolkits...
some use the same color as menus, including for combos, while most use
the same as document color, and some also use document colors for
drop-downs because they are combo-boxes.

Then are supposed to be used for the 3D-ish things...

Indeed, plain yellow on a dark theme wouldn't look like a tooltip but a
big warning :P

Shrug, Firefox used violet, it's a progress :D
I thought we had one...
BTW, ZETA also had B_{PANEL|DOCUMENT}_LINK_COLOR, could be useful as
well (setting blue as text color would make links invisible).
While at it, one of my old svn working copies still had those around
that I wanted to add:
B_INPUT_METHOD_TRANSACTION_COLOR
B_INPUT_METHOD_CLAUSE_COLOR
They are currently hardcoded in BTextView IIRC, but applications
implementing input method things themselves would also need them anyway
(Terminal, XEmacs, ...).
And I miss B_MICHELANGELO_FAVORITE_COLOR btw :P
