Actually, I was thinking about that too. In fact, what if a

messed up if I
put a different color scheme for macOS only. The only valid

be to check the background color of the terminal, but I don't

that's possible at all in a standardized way, unless someone
can prove
me wrong. That would be cool.
As I mentioned, I think the only way to do this is to avoid
using white and black colors and assume all other colors (at
least the standard ones) work with the selected theme. For
regular text, reset to the default foreground color instead of
explicitly using black or white.
Not just black and white but also some shades of grey. Recently I
fixed the same problem in the vibe.d's logger
(https://github.com/vibe-d/vibe-core/pull/82) and all I can say
is that the only way to deal with colours is to test it on both
black and white background.
