I doubt that will make it more readable, in fact it'd annoy me. 
Another thing to consider is the fact that colours in terminal 
are highly customizable so if something works and most 
importantly looks good for somebody it might look terrible and be 
unreadable on different terminal preferences.

This is something I experienced with trial which colours test 
names white and vibe-core's logger which used different shades of 
grey for different log levels. Both of these as you can imagine 
are unreadable on black-on-white terminals.
