bug#2454: 23.0.90; Colored Compilation Status is hard on the eyes

Yes.

Please do the same analysis to the error and success colors as well.  The Red 
used by error needs it least, but they are all relatively bright.

I know where the problem comes from.  The default foreground color
for the compilation warning face is too light, so it is hardly
readable on a light background.  It is a bad color for the default
white background, and almost impossible for the mode-line where
its background makes the contrast close to none.

I think we should change the default light color `Orange'
to a slightly darker color.
