Too low color contrast on URLs in CLI #11

Even though they are just a links, it would be nice to actually see where they go. Neither #0000ff on #000000 (tested url) nor #00006e on #000000 passes WCAG AA.

Right you are sir! I realised this when I was designing it. But look how pretty it is on mac ;)

Seriously though, I'm glad you brought it up. I'm not sure I have a great solution. What we could do is change the colors for windows. We can make an educated guess about what background you're using. But those can be changed.

Edit: I just read that the tool we're using has a --no-color flag. You can set that if you are having difficulties. I'll also make sure that is documented.

Thanks! Command Prompt forces me to copy the links to use them anyways, so as long as it's just the links being hard to read, I'll manage. The --no-color flag works great, but the colors help with readability, grouping the error messages.

Anyways, keep up the good work, it's a great tool!
