Hello Juergen,

As a daytime worker I also use a white background, but the colors
(black, green, and red) are readable very well on it. Do you happen to
have a screenshot to illustrate how it looks for you? Perhaps the
colors aren't as intended on your terminal?

One way to turn off the colors is to stop stdout being a tty, e. g.

  systemctl status default.target | cat

Thanks,

Martin
