Hi,

I'm using Kibana 8.6.1 with the dark theme and facing readability issues with the axis tick labels on big screens in our operations center, as they appear in light grey.

This readability concern is significant for us, and I was wondering if there's a way to change the tick label colors to white, or a brighter color, for better visibility. I've looked through the settings available within the Lens visualization options and the advanced settings but haven't found a way to adjust this specific aspect.

Is there a way to adjust the tick label colors in version 8.6.1, or in any newer version, to improve readability? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
