I'm not sure what BuildKit is generally developed on, but I would confidently say that the default background for shell/console windows is black background. The default dark blue color choice is practically unreadable on black backgrounds and seems like a strange choice for a command line tool.

I know I can disable colours completely with the plain output mode, but that cuts away a lot more things. Please change the colors to a more reasonable default or let us at least configure them somehow.

For anyone investigating this, please switch your console palette preference from tango/solarized to Linux Console to see how poor the contrast is when using what can often be the default colour scheme.

Please fix this... Now that buildkit is the default build tool, builds without --progress=plain are not readable anymore in a windows cmd.

#2368 updates the colors for windows and as this seems windows specific I'm going to close for now.
