It's a symptom of the same problem as issue 37255 - this summer I deleted the options for setting output window colors in Options - that type of info should be gotten from the look and feel; having them in options is just clutter when we need to be reducing the number of options to those which are really important to the user. The problem is that in some cases the way the look and feel maps the colors is different - so a combination that is fine on, say, Metal, doesn't work at all on another look and feel. Dafe and I have been talking about putting together some kind of centralized color management (there are other problems in that some look and feels don't actually include color keys that are there for Metal, etc., which was the default when a lot of this was set up). Hopefully we can come up with a good solution sometime soon. In the meantime I'll see what I can do for the output window.
Fixed in trunk. For the time being, it's less than pretty - it simply measures the difference between two colors, and if it's not enough of a difference, lightens or darkens until it is.
