[cc65] Text Color Scheme on C64 (and Atari) ?

Hi,

When it comes to a text color scheme for machines with colored text
then I see two approaches:

1. Stick to the colors used by the startup screen / BASIC interpreter.
These are typically low contrast schemes most likely optimized for
display on stock TV sets of the 80ies.

2. Use some usual high contrast scheme like black background with
lightgray or white text (and lightblue / yellow for emphasising text
where available).

As I'm coming from the Apple II (with b&w text) I now have this question:

Is 1) vs. 2) simply a matter of taste or do the users of those
machines (today) have a clear expectation (on new software) and I'm
just outing myself as nonmember doing it "wrong"?

There seem to be examples for both: LUnix looks like 1) while Novaterm
looks like 2) ...

Thanks for hints,
Oliver

P.S.: I'm about to change the C64 (and Atari) version of Contiki from 1) to 2).
