Microsoft have been f*king up colour schemes since at least the W98/W2k 
era, and have never fixed the problems, which have carried over more or 
less unchanged into every version of Windows since.  Particularly, 
having a dark background or paper and a light foreground or pen tends 
not to work well, because so many dialog boxes, tooltips, etc, have been 
hard coded (bad enough!) inconsistently (much, much worse!):
