fix(theme): improve theme color contrast for macOS Terminal.app #21170

@clocky

Description

@clocky

What happened?

In macOS Terminal.app and other xterm-256 compatible environments, certain default theme colors (both light and dark) have insufficient contrast, making text difficult to read. Specifically, some accent colors fall below the recommended 4.5:1 contrast ratio against the default backgrounds.

What did you expect to happen?

All theme colors should maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for accessibility and clear legibility across all supported terminal emulators, including macOS Terminal.app.
