You can customise the colours using a resource file. Resources are described in chapter 4 of the manual: http://diffuse.sourceforge.net/manual.html

To quickly try it out, create a ~/.config/diffuse/diffuserc file (or %HOME%.config\diffuse\diffuserc on Microsoft Windows) with the following contents then restart Diffuse (of course, you will likely wish to choose some more pleasing colours):

color difference_1 1.0 0.0 0.0
float line_difference_alpha 0.5

Hello, nice that you support just pasting the texts to compare, not only files compare.
When i pasted the texts and clicked to find a differences, these differences are hard to spot, because the highlighting of the differences is not enough contrast. Either use bold text or more contrast color like white background.
