I found a "minor" bug in cd-colors.el

I use a variation of background/foreground according to day/night
environments as suggested in

http://www.jurta.org/en/emacs/dotemacs

and which I reproduce below

But using cd-colors and the day option which means

  (set-background-color "white")
  (set-foreground-color "black")

I notice that the face org-hide remains black.

As I use

(setq org-hide-leading-stars t)

this is not quite convenient.

So I commented the line of org-hide in cd-colors and everything worked fine!

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
       `(org-tag ((t (:foreground ,tag))))
;;       `(org-hide ((t (:foreground "#191919"))))
       `(org-todo ((t (:background ,todo-bg :foreground "white" ,@box))))
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

PS here is the text of my .emacs that I commented above
