Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [x] Anthropic API
- Claude CLI version: 0.2.92
- Operating System: macos 15.3
- Terminal: iTerm2
Bug Description
Using the dark theme setting with Solarized dark in iTerm2 gives me very bad contrast when Claude outputs diffs. I can slightly up the brightness of the font color and that makes it work but in default it's practically unreadable.

Steps to Reproduce
- set iTerm2 to use the Solarized dark theme
- set Claude to also use the dark theme
- have Claude generate a code diff
Expected Behavior
I can read the code diffs because the text has good contrast to the bg colors.
Actual Behavior
I can hardly read the code diffs
