Description Yaron Tausky 2012-01-27 09:21:46 UTC

Version:           2.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Text written in colour 5 (blue) with the colour theme "Linux Colors" is hard to read -- it is dark blue, and the theme's background colour is black. I suggest changing it to a lighter blue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to colour theme "Linux Colors"
2. Run a programme that outputs colour 5

Actual Results:  
Text that is hard to read

Expected Results:  
Text that is easy to read

Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the late response.

I tend to agree with your observation(see the attached screenshot). However, I'm not sure how to improve it. Making Color 5 lighter/brigther probabaly would make it hard to distinguish between Color 5 and Color 5(Intense). 

Actually, when trying the test example under Linux Console, the result is basiclly the same: not that satisfactory.

Any suggestion on a suitable color value?
