That would hardly be seen at all, I suspect.
But you could additionally make the >'s bold... that would make the colour
much more visible.

I would even like bold face >'s with all black, as an alternative to make
the complete new text bold.  Sometimes (with small to medium font sizes)
I find the bold font to be less readable than the normal font.
Therefore I would prefer to have the new text (the most important part)
to be just plain black on white: that is the most readable style.

BTW: on my screen all colouring scemes I have seen up to now have been fine.
But since many seem to object to colours, and some seem to like them,
I think the best solution would be to make it optional like the filter
options from=number and to=number, e.g. colour=on or colour=off.
