Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set the Terminal theme to dark.
  2. Enable "Automatically pick an accent colour from my background" in Windows settings. This image should do the trick. Or set it manually to Turquoise (41, 190, 204; #29BECC).
  3. Open Command Palette.
  4. Navigate to some entry with key binding.

Key binding colours don't change in the Light theme too so maybe someone can find such accent colour so that it also becomes unreadable, not sure:

This is a bit similar to #6892 (my accent colour is almost the same! 😄)

Expected Behavior

Key bindings' colour gets inverted if needed as action text colour does.

Actual Behavior

Key bindings' colour doesn't change depending on the selection background colour.
