I think that many of these faces will not work properly with a white background - they are all only for a dark background. I would have thought that the entire scheme is unusable with white.

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-todo ((t (:background ,todo-bg :foreground "white" ,@box))))

Can we get a copy of the color configuration you are using?
Yes, I have put my color config here:
http://orgmode.org/cd-colors.el
This started as a copy of Peter Jones config and was then edited and hacked
- which is why it may not be in the most convenient shape. Feel free to
package it up nicely and send me a better version.
You also need something like this, adapted to your todo keywords.
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
'(("SDMB" . cd-org-someday-kwd-face)
("STARTED" . cd-org-started-kwd-face)
("STRT" . cd-org-started-kwd-face)
("WAITING" . cd-org-waiting-kwd-face)
("WAIT" . cd-org-waiting-kwd-face)
("DELG" . cd-org-delegated-kwd-face)
("PROJ" . cd-org-project-kwd-face)
("DONE" . cd-org-done-kwd-face)
("PRDN" . cd-org-done-kwd-face)
("PRCL" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)
("CNCL" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)
("PRCN" . cd-org-cancelled-kwd-face)
("TODO" . cd-org-todo-kwd-face)

Hallo,
we proudly present:
"Emacs Org-mode: Organizing a Scientist's Life and Work"
I noticed the org color config in the talk was much
catchier (e.g. the keywords with bgcolor) than in the default org
config. It would be a good idea to make org more appealing by
coming up with a sexier color scheme. The appearance of org on
the main page of orgmode.org is very spartan and can be a turn
off for newbies who are used to applications with a more
elaborate visual design.
I think a better choice of default colors could improve the first
impression a bit. Maybe people could send to the list screenshots
of their config and one of the better ones could be used as a new
default.
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...
