Default colours krunner over Honeycomb krunner

You are correct, I did not realize that I had changed those colours. I was
using the Honeycomb colour set. I have included a screenshot which has Krunner
of both coloursets (default over Honeycomb). In the default colours there is
much improvement over the Honeycomb version, however, I still think that it
should be lighter. On my CRT desktop display with the default colours I can see
the difference clearly, but on my LCD laptop (Dell Inspiron 15.4") and on an
LCD display at the university (Phillips 17") I cannot tell the difference
without looking closely. Maybe this is not an issue for CRT users, but on LCD
displays the autocompleted letters should be of a lighter colour.

I'm not nitpicking here, this is genuinely confusing because it really looks
like letters are there that the user did not type. Furthermore, the caret is
displayed AFTER the autocompleted letters (see screenshot). That means that the
user's input is not going where the caret is. Even if you disagree about the
importance of lightening the autocompleted letters, I do not see how one could
disagree about the caret location.
