(snip - as it boils down to needing a concrete proposal)
I was specifically trying to steer away from a random
propose-and-comment approach, because I think we can do a lot better if
we first reduce the size of the design space using objective measures.
If we can agree to some extent that this makes sense, I can give it a go
and propose something concrete, too.
But it seems like the solution for that is to use saturated colors for
everything. There are also some examples that clearly don't work on a
white background, such as using cyan. Or examples in a black
background, such as using saturated blue.
As I've already mentioned, even the "dark" colors look very bright on
Terminal.app. I think the program's defaults are simply bad. Within
these constraints, I think it should be at least not unusable.
If the default goes from well readable but not highlighted to barely
readable in parts, then that would IMO be a pretty big failure. The
minimum goal should be to not make things worse overall on any of the
most common setups.
If we really want to reduce this to a pure question of favorite color
themes, I'd propose to just take either Monokai or the Material UI
theme. In various places those seem to come up as the two most popular
themes, so using those is likely to be quite representative:

Um, I don't think that's possible.

The question is how many users are actually ruled out by this.
Benefiting a large number of people at the expense of a few is a
reasonable approach in this case.
