As seen in first attachment very nice for any long time working eyes - dark. ;)
Just text color does not work for the benefit of readability. IMO the basic
colors (background and base text color) can be read from any entry widget's
style above.

Any other colored text of course exuding black on black background, will be no
problem (simulation in second attached file).
Additionally that can be solved by searching in config dir for pcbnew.css with
known  html DOM ids and classes names, which is easy editable in Notepad and any
scripting language - in example Python… ;)
