That's "thistle" and "orchid", not "violet". :-) But you're welcome to suggest other colors. I've found these to contrast nicely with the background of the actual text display without being offensively distracting. And they're not inconsistent with other color schemes X has to offer. (Try, for example, "bitmap -xrm '*customization: -color'".) Anyway, I think that entire block should actually be moved out into a separate "GXditview-color" app-defaults file. That's the more traditional way of handling color customizations, since the colors are not necessary as builtin fallbacks, and everybody can specify their own colors via Xdefaults anyway.
