I understand your viewpoint,  Ihor. Actually, it was mainly the font
size of the TODO keyword that I wanted to retain, not the colour.

The org-agenda-dimmed-todo-face overlay overrides the size set in
org-todo face, which breaks my layout.

I would like to retain the org-todo face colour as well, but it is
mainly the face size that causes me issues.

I have been fiddling with the face and overlay rules, but my knowledge
is not up to the task. From what I can tell, overlays always overwrite
faces.

I was thinking that a version of org-font-lock-add-priority-faces
could perhaps be adapted to work with todo keywords.
