Brandon and I talked about the colors and the way color-blind people will perceive them - this color set provides the best cross-cultural and accessible approach so far. The design also improves contrast issues and draw attention to the changed portions better than any previous versions.

I *really* like this design. Much better than the current diff style, and not just for the color blind. ;-) Accentuating changed phrases more strongly and removing color where unnecessary makes it much easier to scan a diff.
Just my 2 cents,
