The issue I have with using these colours is that they are foreground colours, 
to be used against one of 2 or 3 background colours. *That* is what the theme 
can be expected to ensure.

There is however no obstacle whatsoever to introducing a few new colour 
categories, specifically for this use. Only then can you blame the theme if 
things don't work out.

I can modify (and maybe simplify) the alpha calculation of course.

Here's what my theme gives with the tweaked alpha. Without that, information 
messages would be a darker red than error messages. That would be wrong, but I 
don't see how there's anything wrong with using a dark red for active text and 
a brighter red for negative. Red on grey works very nicely for text that should 
draw attention.
