I think the color you chose is in fact _more annoying_; perversely, it's
less easy to locate such characters in the buffer -- it's `fuzzy', one's
eye has some notion that there's something wrong, but one can't quite
see what it is (perhaps this is why it's annoying).

[You didn't "propose", you changed it; the argument that you were doing
to allow others to try it out sounds like weasel wording to me.]

This exact issue (the color of the escape-glyph face) was argued about
at great length, and the colors you changed were the result.  Maybe you
weren't aware of the previous argument about it.

Anyway, I will change it back.
