Accessibility: Dark + colorblind-friendly theme still has problematic colors (skill names in dark blue)

Problem

With both dark mode and colorblind-friendly theme enabled, skill names in the terminal display appear in dark blue, which is still difficult to distinguish.

Additionally, the user has eye sensitivity to brightness, making it hard to find a theme that works without causing discomfort.

Current behavior

  • Theme: Dark + colorblind-friendly
  • Skill names render in dark blue — hard to read for colorblind users
  • No option to customize individual UI element colors

Expected behavior

  • Colorblind-friendly theme should use more distinguishable colors (e.g., yellow-green) for skill names and other highlighted elements
  • OR: allow custom color configuration per UI element in settings.json

Suggested fix

  • Add additional theme variants (e.g., high-contrast dark, colorblind-optimized dark)
  • OR expose a colors section in settings.json to override specific element colors

Impact

Accessibility — affects users with color vision deficiency and/or light sensitivity to brightness.
