Consider `muted` instead of `overlay` in lightline foreground

I find the foreground of the inactive windows in lightline to be unreadable. Please consider the following change:

On the left dawn and moon as they are now. On the right is the suggested change applied. Screen Shot 2024-07-26 at 09 26 28

I would love to revamp our vim theme entirely. Will definitely prioritise this change :)
