What Happened?

Hello! How are y'all doing?

I'd like to thank y'all first for the amazing work with elementaryOS 6.1 Jólnir, you guys did something really good here.

About the issue, I was experimenting with Epiphany 41.0 today on my elementaryOS 6.1 install and noticed that, when using the dark mode, the text selection becomes quite hard to read on the devtools console due to bad contrast. I don't know if it is a WebkitGTK issue, if it is an Epiphany issue or if it is a elementaryOS stylesheet issue, but it gets really bad to read, and that's not a good experience for those using dark mode and GNOME Web at the same time.

Here are some screenshots of this problem.

And here are some screenshots of the light theme that works just fine!
