The problem I see here is that if a new user downloads Emacs,
it will have white background and only default colors.
I could of course make the screenshot on orgmode.org with my
color scheme[1], but then new users would not like the first
impression they get when they download emacs and install Org.
I am interested in a discussion about how to handle this issue.

[1] The color scheme is based on the scheme by Peter Jones, who
in particular came up with the idea to make the TODO keywords look
like buttons. I use that idea, but with different colors. The
exact colors were not my creation, because I am really not talended
in this area. But I agree they look great - they were selected
by the same designer who created the special logo used on all
our spreadshirt shop items...
