When playing with the macOS bundle to look well both in light and dark themes, I noticed that in the dark theme colors in the message window are extremely hard to read with the default colors. While it may be hard to determine whether users use light or dark themes as discussed here

#2644

I think we should rather improve the default colors we use so they look reasonably well both in light and dark environments. I took the colors from the middle of the color spectrum here

and the result looks quite good IMO:

I changed just the geany-compiler-context and geany-compiler-message colors which are the worst dark-theme offenders but we could update all the colors so we use a single color palette. The palette I used is just an example which looks good IMO but we could use other palette if someone has some better idea.

What do you think?
