Bug Description
I primarily use the Warp terminal shell application. I have noticed recently that when Claude Code asks for me to answer questions the text of the question is the same color as the background, preventing me from being able to see the text at all.
Environment Info
- Platform: win32

This is not a duplicate because the specific text that cannot be seen is the question text when in the "user feedback" feature (while Claude Code is asking for user input about questions after an initial prompt).
I'm not sure if you have the same issue as mine. I think it is probably because your Claude Code theme is set to the light mode, and your Warp is set to a dark theme.
The text color in Claude Code's light mode is black, making it hard to read in dark backgrounds. Perhaps you can try setting your Claude Code to dark mode so the question text in plan mode is white.

Same issue with file listings and data output
Experiencing the same issue, but not just with question text - all light gray text in Claude Code output is unreadable on light backgrounds.
Specific Examples:
Environment:
Critical Use Case:
When copying Claude Code output to documentation (Word docs, PDFs, reports), the light gray text becomes completely invisible on white backgrounds. This makes it impossible to document work or share findings with colleagues.
Attempted Workarounds:
Impact:
This is a blocker for workflows that require documenting Claude Code's output. Currently need to:
Would appreciate either:
+1 for this feature request. I'm experiencing significant usability issues with Claude Code's hardcoded light gray text colors on light terminal backgrounds.
Specific Problem:
When Claude Code outputs file listings, data comparisons, or field names (e.g., "bigquery_schema_2.json", "acquired_at_s", "advertising_id"), it uses very light gray colors that are:
What I've Tried:
Impact on Workflow:
I frequently need to document Claude Code's output in reports. The current workaround (copy → paste to text editor → strip formatting → copy again → paste to document) adds significant friction.
Proposed Solution:
Allow users to customize output colors via settings.json:
{
"colors": {
"fileNames": "#333333",
"fieldNames": "#444444",
"dimText": "#666666"
}
}
Or at minimum, provide a "light mode" / "dark mode" toggle that auto-adjusts text colors for proper contrast.
Environment:
This would greatly improve accessibility and usability for users with light-themed terminals.

Same issue on macOS with Apple Terminal.app.
Environment:
The
AskUserQuestionprompt options (labels, descriptions) render as white/near-white text on a white background, making them completely unreadable. Have to guess at option numbers or switch to a dark theme to interact.Not just a Warp issue — affects native macOS Terminal as well.
+1, barely readable, tiring my eyes
问题依旧存在，快点修复吧
Environment:
macOS Terminal.app
Terminal background: Light blue (#B8D4E8) and white (#FFFFFF) tested
Issue persists regardless of terminal ANSI color configuration
