In principle, yes we can tweak those colours.  Though I need to know if
you think this is specific to ef-dark or if it applies to other dark
themes as well.

If the problem is general, maybe you can check your monitor's settings?
Two tests, for example:

1. <http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php>
2. <http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php>

We can make improvements.  This is just to have a better sense of what
needs to be done.

All the best,
Prot
