Grid colors too dark
Hard to read

I often feel like the grid colors that you can choose as color tags in text for nodes (for example, #color blue, red, etc) are too dark and hard to read against the black background of the webclient. Would it be possible to make them be a tad brighter/lighter so that they can more easily be read?

The colors are typical, tried and true, terminal colors, that have been in existence since ANSI became the standard. If they don't work for you, I recommend changing the color palette of your client.

As for making them customizable, I didn't do this with nodes because I want nodes to be presented as the author intended, colors, and all. Otherwise, colors are kind of meaningless, no?

I dunno, changing the color of text, and re-writing every color possible aren't the same. If there is a big clamor for it, I guess I would consider it, but it's a lot of work if it's only going to be used by two peeps.

I think it would be awesome if you could set them in the theme, but if they were restricted to the colors in `@colors readable` that start with the same name (i.e. magenta could be replaced with MagentaRuby but not YellowLight)

EDIT: Is this convoluted? Maybe! I like to brainstorm.

I agree with it being restricted to @colors readable, but disagree with it having to be a "related" color. If you're trying to get the colors working with your theme, sometimes some colors just Don't Work Well.

Plus, people should be free to make terrible, no good, dogshit themes that break people's node colors.
