Some text prompts don't display well in a light-themed terminal

Description

Description

I noticed this happens specifically for the options to a prompt. The underlying text here is "(3.13.2)", but it doesn't display well in a light-themed terminal. I know light themes are out of fashion so this issue might be shoved aside, but the 1% of us who prefer light themes would love to see this fixed. •‿•
