Commit summary for MediaWiki.r106884:

Followup r105280
For bug 33139 "Swapping colors in new diff color scheme"

* Modified diff colorscheme to yellow[orange]/blue[blue]
  - These colors attempt to address the following issues with diffs:
    - Colorblindness (Protanopia/Deuteranopia)
    - Cultural meaning of color (e.g., "green is good, therefore this diff is 
better")
* Bumped font size up overall (actually, just removed the smaller)
* Removed dotted line around difftext

MZMcBride's comment:

Ah, my mistake then! Apologies.

I'd seen the thread at the English Wikipedia village pump (which also heavily 
discussed the French Wikipedia's design, I think) and thought you were 
referring to that.

Either way, I'm not sure how much concern needs to be taken here. I didn't mind 
the old colors and I wouldn't mind better colors. And, as I said, the worst 
case is that individual wikis (or individual users) decide to simply switch it 
back for themselves.

I would actually think that making the color scheme fit in with the Vector 
theme (that's the default now, isn't it?) would be a greater goal than it seems 
to be.
