As of 3.16, this is all part of GtkSourceView style schemes. You can
see what styles Meld needs to have defined by looking at our style
schemes (e.g., https://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/tree/data/styles/meld-base.xml).

The best way to get something that persists across updates would be to
copy a GtkSourceView scheme that you like (e.g., classic or tango),
add the styles from meld's base style in there, and customise the
colours you want. As for the red foreground on replaced words, that's
defined by the foreground colour on the "meld:replace" style.
