Followup on ea61aa3.

The default foreground in the iTerm2 defaults for the Tango Dark color
scheme is too bright, use the value for ANSI 7 (white) instead.

Thanks! No change for Tango Light?

Perhaps not, pure black on pure white always works, but for a lower contrast option we can use ansi 7 (white or gray) or ansi 8 (dark gray). I will test all 3 combinations and give you my impression.

Also use ANSI 8 (dark gray) as the foreground color for Tango Light,
this looks nicer than ANSI 0 (black.)

I tested Tango Light with these 3 foreground values and I came to the conclusion that ANSI 8 (dark gray) looks best as the foreground color.

It just looks nicer and more like you'd expect a black on white browser page to look like.

I have updated the commit accordingly.
