Description

### What would you like to do?

Use lighter text colour in messages which mention me.

### Why would you like to do it?

Currently, when you use dark mode and someone mentions you, it looks like this:

While it may look okay in this isolated zoomed-in screenshot, it is very inconvenient for the eyes to read messages with a darker colour on a dark background, especially when messages are longer.

### How would you like to achieve it?

By changing colour.
