Can the text color on Heartwarming pages be changed?

I view the site in dark mode with the default skin, and find the darkish red text on Heartwarming pages doesn't provide enough contrast against black. It is readable, but uncomfortable enough that I usually end up highlighting the whole page (spoilers an' all).

I like the idea of using reddish text on those pages, but could the colour be brightened for users in Dark mode? Red links show up well, so a (pinkish?) colour with similar luminosity to that should work for everyone if it isn't practical to have a per-mode text colour.

@Labster and @GethN7 know more about this than I do, so... kicking it over to them.

Accessibility issue. No need for a discussion, just fix it, please.

I'll take a look at it. Should be a simple fix, just need to experiment with color values a bit.

Thanks.

I just added some specific Dark Mode rules the CSS for the Heartwarming template. CTRL+F5 on a Heartwarming page and let me know if red links are more visible with less eye sore after. Wanted to fix the white bar to the side, but that's proving a little more hassle, but the links should be easier to see now.

Looks like it turned off the extra formatting altogether in Firefox - we're down to the default page formatting now.

EDIT: No, wait, that's just on one page. Trying a different heartwarming page looks good to me - again, in firefox.

Plenty of pages not being displayed with the extra formatting now. See here.
