White text on a bright yellow background in dark mode

SUMMARY
The top bar that visualizes the partition sizes and filesystems has white text in dark mode even though the background color is determined by partitions' filesystem, which have mostly bright colors by default, regardless of application or system theme.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open partitionmanager on some disk
2. Switch between dark and light mode in system settings
3. Observe the bar with the partition colors 

OBSERVED RESULT
In dark mode, there is white text on bright colorful colorful backgrounds, which is hard to read.
In light mode, it looks as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text color in this bar should not be affected by theme just like how its background colors do not.
Or alternatively make the background colors also darken a little to fit with dark theme.
