Default colors are unreadable #280

Sure we can disable colors with -c and .gdu.yaml, but why have default colors that are hard to read.

On my screen the default colors at the bottom look like this:

Even in the README, you have:

I don't know about your display, but for me the red on blue is not readable.

Changing colors for taste is one thing. But having default colors that are readable really should be standard.

I will check the colors. It should be black and white, the grey is there by mistake.

dundee commented 6 months ago

I think I have found the cause. You probably have first color in your color palette mapped to something different then black. I have selected the color more explicitly now.

For future testing: which terminal, OS and colors theme do you use?

You're right. My bad. I'm using iTerm on macOS, with the "Violet Light" theme from https://iterm2colorschemes.com/ The palette looks like: screenshot 2024-02-18T205507Z

Thanks, I will check that theme.
