Bug Description

If one increases the background lightness to a dark gray (example lightness value 50) then the (seemingly) hardcoded high contrast background elements colour is near invisible.

It would be nice if either the high contrast background elements colour is made dependent on the current background colour (example a certain distance in lightness from higher than it until the background reaches some point then it is darker than the background) or possibly better make it user setable.

An example that does not work is the blue-green-dark scheme from https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-color-schemes (the dark grey is much easier on my eyes compared to pure black)
