We actually don't use those foreground colours anywhere except in
inline highlighting, iirc. You should be able to change the background
colour of conflicts by setting the /apps/meld/color_conflict_bg key -
this works for me on current Meld, but the change bars at the side
apparently don't use these colours anymore.
