Windows: GIT STATUS unreadable because the usage of RED textcolor on BLACK background

Dear Git community,

git version 2.31.1.windows.1

Whenever I use GIT STATUS in a Windows cmd.exe dosbox the output is 
unreadable. Because of the usage of RED textcolor on a BLACK background.

See attached screenshot.png

Kind regards,
Mirco Babin

you can tweak the global default for having colors on/off via the
setting color.ui.

So for example doing

git config --global color.ui off

will turn colors globally off.

You can also tweak which colors are used, see color.status.<slot>. All
the git config options can be seen with git help config.

I've checked here and here the red is quite a bit brighter compared to
your screenshot, so I would not claim it is unreadable but that is of
course heavily subjective.
