[BUG] default colors have low visibility on light terminal themes
Checks
- [X] I have read the troubleshooting section and still think this is a bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:
the default colors are specified here:
https://github.com/sharkdp/fd/blob/71deea6671698e4074a6dd208d528e39831f1fb7/src/main.rs#L53-L56
this is what it looks like using the default terminal.app theme on the macOS:
most colors used don't have enough contrast to be readable.
Describe what you expected to happen:
i would expect more readable colors by default. this might require a simpler, but admittedly more boring ls_colors.
