DOC: Dark mode syntax highlighting isn't as color-blind friendly as the light mode

[jakevandervaate]

Issue with current documentation:

Some of the syntax highlighting in the proposed dark mode switcher lacks the contrast present in the light mode. The best example I noticed was the json snippet on this page.

This is a follow up from the documentation meeting conversation with @MarsBarLee and @InessaPawson.

Original Images

The dark mode's green and orange lack contrast. The pink is harder to see as well.

The light mode has more contrast in this example.

Here is the dark mode image with a green-weak filter to give an idea of what this may look like.

Thanks for the feedback @jakevandervaate ! It might be worth opening this issue upstream in the pydata-sphinx-theme project which is where this dark mode is implemented.

It would indeed be great to move this to the pydata-sphinx-theme and ping those interested there or reference it from here.

As far as I can tell, the dark-mode is not yet released, so it may be a great time to suggest changes to it in any case.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @rossbar and @seberg! I opened this issue in pydata-sphinx-theme.
