launchpad.net does not update the package value if edited manually
instead of via "Choose..."? Oh, well...

Title:
  Invalid colour specification for setting diff_cmd (diff) in
  /etc/colordiffrc

Status in colordiff package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04

  The default  /etc/colordiffrc produces this warning:

  Invalid colour specification for setting diff_cmd (diff) in
  /etc/colordiffrc

  The key is to comment out the line for diff_cmd:

  # Example colordiffrc file for dark backgrounds
  #
  # Set banner=no to suppress authorship info at top of
  # colordiff output
  banner=no
  # By default, when colordiff output is being redirected
  # to a file, it detects this and does not colour-highlight
  # To make the patch file *include* colours, change the option
  # below to 'yes'
  color_patches=no
  # Sometimes it can be useful to specify which diff command to
  # use: that can be specified here
  #diff_cmd=diff
  #
  # available colours are: white, yellow, green, blue,
  #                        cyan, red, magenta, black,
  #                        darkwhite, darkyellow, darkgreen,
  #                        darkblue, darkcyan, darkred,
  #                        darkmagenta, darkblack
  #
  # Can also specify 'none', 'normal' or 'off' which are all
  # aliases for the same thing, namely "don't colour highlight
  # this, use the default output colour"
  #
  plain=off
  newtext=darkgreen
  oldtext=darkred
  diffstuff=darkcyan
  cvsstuff=cyan
