Contrast of edits diff view is not strong enough
[This edit](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/suggested-edit/513) consists mostly of small corrections on punctuation and typos. Currently, the edit diff view highlights the whole paragraph in which a change was made in green/red background, and uses bold+underline font to highlight the actual changes, which I believe is too faint contrast. 

For example, try to find the edited commas in this fragment of the diff:

![Find commas](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/nTLdgcRdPTmRNN4DgJWJteDc)

I think the diff view could be significantly improved by increasing the contrast of the changed characters, perhaps by making them yellow or cyan background.
