Notice how it's difficult to read the net names in the pads.

The new palette is actually not yet in place. In the old one there are
less colors so they don't "mix" well. Please have a little patience, the
new default yellow is less 'bright' and work better.

However, I agree that there should be an option to change the netname
color in pads and tracks, or at least a way to see it better.
