Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 61f808ce90 Pick a selection color that is readable on light backgrounds
On a light background, the selected line is black text on the palette's
blue. With most palettes, this is hard to read. Light palettes make all
their colors dark enough to read as text on the light background, so
none of them works well as a background for text.

On a light background, mix 25% of #0064ff into the terminal's background
instead. On white, this gives #bfd8ff. The colored text on the selected
line then stays as readable as it is elsewhere.

On a dark background, keep the palette's blue. Dark palettes make it
dark enough to work as a background, and it keeps working on terminals
with only 8 colors. There, a color mixed from a dark background would
turn into black.
