Full context of forum threads as always are available from our Nabble
archive, so for this thread "   
Light Blue for Non-printing characters

"

Actually, in resolving  fdo#68071
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68071>  , Mirek's proposed,
and     Tomaž implemented the RGB color #6abed3  (106:190:211) lifted from
iWorks on OSX.   At this point in the 4.3 release cycle, the color selected
could still be changed.  And Mirek has asked for that alternative. 

IMHO, the #6abed3 remains a viable choice (on both light or dark
backgrounds), and so should not be "adjusted" until a more ambitious--auto
selection--or expert configuration is implemented.   But a move back to a
mid-density gray would leave UI little better than the old default (of
matching text color).

As can be seen in:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=fb99a6b9958815eb1ad27179d252a379ce8b79fd
the NON_PRINTING_CHARACTER_COLOR is now defined just once in
/sw/source/core/inc/txtfrm.hxx;  with one additional entry in inftxt.cxx for
DrawTab. So a simple hack for anyone wishing to change the color of NPC and
role their own.
