Mermaid subgraph background too dark

Start with src/resources/formats/html/mermaid/embed-mermaid.css at the subgraph background rule, then trace the mermaid-fg-color--lightest default described in the issue. Reproduce with the provided test.qmd and quarto preview; done means revealjs subgraph backgrounds are light while the documented customization remains usable.

Bug description

As described in Issue https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/5416, the background of a mermaid subgraph is too dark when creating a revealjs presentation. It may extend to other formats, but that is my use case.

I think I found a temporary fix and a possible solution. As mentioned here, the variable mermaid-fg-color--lightest in your CSS/SCSS controls the subgraph background. For example, to set it to white:

/*-- scss:defaults --*/
//other stuff
$mermaid-fg-color--lightest:#FFFFFF;

In case it helps anyone debug this, this line sets the subgraph background color to mermaid-fg-color--lightest, since subgraphs are cluster elements. This defaults to $mermaid-fg-color--lightest: lighten($body-color, 20%); according to the docs. Should it default to a background color instead of a foreground color?

Steps to reproduce

The code from this post reproduces it for me:

---
title: "test"
format: revealjs
---

```{mermaid}
flowchart LR
  subgraph A [Layer 1]
    direction LR
    id1[Affine Function] --> id2[ReLU]
  end

  subgraph B [Layer 2]
    direction LR
    id2 --> id3[Affine Function]
  end
  
  subgraph C [Loss Function]
    direction LR
    id3 --> id4[MSE]
  end
```

Then run quarto preview test.qmd.

Expected behavior

I expect it to be light:

flowchart LR
  subgraph A [Layer 1]
    direction LR
    id1[Affine Function] --> id2[ReLU]
  end

  subgraph B [Layer 2]
    direction LR
    id2 --> id3[Affine Function]
  end
  
  subgraph C [Loss Function]
    direction LR
    id3 --> id4[MSE]
  end

Again, taken from this post.

Actual behavior

It is very dark. When I run quarto preview test.qmd, I get
