[Terminal] some default color settings are hard to read

[scottmc]

Blue text with a green highlight background is just plain hard to read. Perhaps this can be defaulted to a better color combination. See screenshot.

We are using the same default colors as the Gnome terminal. They are hard to read there too. With a black background, they look much better, though.

Replying to jackburton:

Just to be clear: I'm not saying that since it looks bad in Gnome, too, it's okay. Just that we're following some sort of standard, and that the colors have to be checked with different backgrounds (at least black, and white). BTW a black background makes much more sense (even by default, IMO), since it's less flashy and more readable.

If you look at the screenshot I posted, you'll see the issue is the green chars with a blue highlight background. I'm not so sure that that becomes easier to read if you change the white background to black though. Where can this color combo even be adjusted? I couldn't locate it in any of the menus.
