Blue text on dark background is hard to read

The dark blue text on a dark background is extremely hard to read - at least if you are shortsighted like I or my girlfriend. Interestingly, I have no issue with dark red on dark, but she has trouble reading it too (but not as much as the dark blue).

I know it's possible to redefine colors via data/init/colors.txt, and I assume we will still have the possibility, but it would be nice if we wouldn't need to.

I normally have no sights problems but that blue is hard to read for me as well.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.
