Description

When I run BenchmarkDotNet.Samples.FSharp, here is what the console looks like. 2019-12-19_10-59-11_10_BenchmarkDotNet Samples FSharp

The text is a dark color on a black background. I am having difficulty seeing the text.

Can this contrast be improved?

Research direction
Look into the console output rendering code in BenchmarkDotNet. Specifically, find where colors are set for the console output (likely in files like `ConsoleOutput.cs` or similar theme configuration). The issue reports dark text on a black background; consider changing the text color to a lighter one. Review the comments in the issue for any suggested approaches or design decisions from maintainers.
