Summary0003549: Blue text hard to read, doesn't respect colors.txt
DescriptionI find the default blue color of text (as used e.g. in NPC conversations) incredibly hard to read on a black background, especially when it's next to lighter-colored text. I tried adjusting it in init/colors.txt, but it doesn't seem to respect that setting. I can see other blue things, such as water, using the new RGB value I specify, but the text stays the same.
Steps To Reproduce1. Change the entries for blue in colors.txt to something like:
[BLUE_R:64]
[BLUE_G:64]
[BLUE_B:228]

2. Restart the game and talk to an NPC.
