The problem here is that there is insufficient value (lightness) 
contrast between the colors: humans are great at distinguishing color 
with value contrast, and much worse when there is only contrast in hue 
or colorfulness.  In this case, the scheme overall would benefit from 
having its colors be lighter: at the moment, they are of middle 
lightness, which means they don't contrast as well as they could with 
the black background.

But whatever happens to the text colors, the highlight color here should 
be darker, because at the moment it is of near identical lightness to 
the text colors, and they therefore blend right together.
