Debug/Diagnostic color is far too dark #3245

While investigating issues with https://github.com/cake-build/cake/pull/3240, I temporarily enabled Debug/Diagnostic logging for the integration tests, during which the log rendering is far too dark and becomes unreadable in some environments.

Here's another screenshot of a normal GitHub Actions run showing the color spectrum for different LogLevel/Verbosity: image

Finally, I've seen similar problems when building local in WSL.

Agreed. I think we need custom console color palettes for different CI systems.

TeamCity has the opposite problem (not dark enough) having a white background, so parts of the log is not easily readable.
