Default color of files unreadable in dark mode

[TamaMcGlinn]

It seems the default colours for me are a lightgray on a darkgrey background for regular files, using background=dark. is there any way to configure dirvish's colours?

sounds like whatever colorscheme you are using is flawed.

dirvish only links to vim's highlight groups, e.g. :help hl-Directory. dirvish does not decide colors at all. that is up to your colorscheme or personal config.

try this:

:highlight Directory ctermfg=red guifg=red
