Description
Thanks for developing khal, it is awesome!
When I edit an event in ikhal, I get the following in my terminal
As you can see, the form's inputs are quite unreadable. I'm not sure how to solve it.
I've tried changing the theme to light in the [view] section of the config but it makes things worse.
My $TERM is screen-256color, and my terminal is alacritty. My colorscheme is base16-cupertino-256 in alacritty.
I'm using the Sway windows manager under Wayland but I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the unreadable inputs in ikhal's event edit form using the reported alacritty, screen-256color, and base16-cupertino-256 setup. Read the [view] theme configuration and the form's color handling, then verify that the edit inputs are readable without making the light theme worse.
