Issue: It is hard to read green on black and red on black.

I have a hard time reading green on black and especially red on black text output to the command window. Both green and red are dark on a black background. I would suggest lightgreen replace green and pink replace red. I used the labels used in the ansi_escape_code.py library.

This change would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. These warnings persist. I know limited action can be taken by the AdaFruit Administrators to fix libraries.

Research direction

Review the color labels referenced in ansi_escape_code.py and trace where green and red are used for command-window output. Replace those dark colors with lightgreen and pink, then verify that the resulting text is readable on a black background.
