Description

With my aging eyes that orange color is increasingly hard to read against a black background, and there is no way to change it.

Yes I can copy and paste it into another editor, but that shouldn't be necessary just to see a simple message.

This is bad for accessibility and hard on your users. Please change to something more readable

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating where Arduino IDE 1.x renders orange error output and review the issue discussion for the intended readable color. Done means the error message is clearly readable against the black background and the relevant UI behavior is covered.
