Great. I didn'
t know GIMP had such information.
However it seems impossible to take care of this in the default color
scheme. I suggest adding additional color schemes for the font-lock
faces for this.
Other useful things is guidelines for accessibility, for example this one here:

I just mailed the author of this page and asked if he had some advice
for how to get both contrast to the background and distinguishable
colors (no response yet).
BTW, in mumamo.el I use background colors to distinguish chunks with
different major modes. I just noticed that someone with vision
impairement had problems with that. (This is problematic since the
information provided by the background color is important so I then
added a second solution for this, using the margins instead.)
