I have checked in a few changes along the lines of what I suggested in my earlier e-mail.  The builds on the "nightly build" page should be available in 30 minutes or so.

Please note that there is no such thing as "RGB colors".  They are all relative to a certain (RGB) color space.  The most widely used one is "sRGB", but that is only one. On top of that, the device calibration plays a role.  (With my change, I get pretty good results relative to Chrome and Safari, but Lion does unexpected things when changing displays and calibrations, so to test, one will have to restart applications after plugging in a new display.  But this is orthogonal to the Aquamacs behavior.)

Let me know if the new colors work better for you.
