I wish, light mode worked better in terminals. Every so often, it'll throw some yellow text at me, and it's just like, cool, I literally cannot read that.

IMHO it depends on the theme you use.

try well maintained themes and you will not have that kind of problem. Like gruvbox light.

has lot of color themes. If your terminal of choice can use ANSI colors you can use tinted-shell.

Catppuccin Latte works well too!

Was gonna suggest this theme. I love it in my light daily driver.

Hmm, good idea.

I've been using the "Black on White" theme in Konsole, because that's the only real light theme it has, apart from Solarized.
Well, and apparently for some reason it uses brighter colors for what should be intense colors. Just setting the yellow to a normal yellow already improves it quite a bit.

I guess, my point still kind of stands, like why is there no better light theme included out of the box, but yeah, I should probably look into theming a bit more...
