Bug#1071582: ip: Poor color choice for dark background
Package: iproute2
Version: 6.9.0-1
Severity: minor
Hello,
The newly enabled colored output is rather hard to read on dark backgrounds, especially the deep blue color used for IPv6 addresses.
Setting COLORFGBG=";0" as the manpage suggests helps a lot.
Consider a scenario when this command is used under stress to manually bring up networking from a VT. It's a rather basic command that would typically run on a dark background and it's important for it to be accessible by default without fiddling around too much.
Thanks!
