Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Light Blue on Orange is unreadable. please read an introductory textbook
on readable text, and pay particular attention to issues of contrast and
eyestrain.
white on blue is good. white on black is good. yellow on blue is good.
in general, bright colours on dark very colours tend to be good. dim
colours on bright backgrounds tend to be unreadable. red on blue is bad.
red on green (and vice-versa) is atrocious. complementary colours (e.g.
red and green) are very bad. for many/most people, they create an
illusion of jittering/wobbling. colour-blind people can't read it at
all.

For me, the default colours of aptitude are not particularly
eye-straining or anything like the combinations that you mention
(unless they were changed since the bug was submitted, but I don't
think so and I've been using aptitude for more than a decade). "white
on blue is good. white on black is good", and those are the default
colours for me. So unless you mean some special menus or error
messages, or that it behaves differently depending on the background
of the terminal (mine is black), I am not sure about what you are
talking about.
Closing the bug now, it's not actionable and there's no use in keeping
it open forever.
