font-latex-title-*-face color on light background terminals

[Dan Nicolaescu]

font-latex-title-[123]-face are defined to have the foreground
yellow. On light background terminals (like white) it is hard to read
these faces.
Different colors could be used for dark and light backgrounds. For
example blue for light backgrounds (no particular reason to choose
that, use whatever you like). Like so:

Thanks for the suggestion. When looking at the definitions I noticed
that there got something lost on the way to their current state. For
terminals it was originally tried to simulate the fontification with
different heights on windowing systems by giving the sectioning
commands different colors. I think this does more harm than good as
it might confuse a user. Now all sectioning commands have the same
color on terminals; yellow on a dark background and blue4 on a light
one.
