I think I see the same as you. I have attached a screenshot where in
the message list I have a nice and readable background-foreground
combination. While in the folder view I have a dark blue background
with black color, almost unreadable.
Once the folder has 0 unread messages the background-foreground
combination in the folder view is the same as in the message list. I
tried to play a bit with CSS but I was never able to change the
background/foreground in the folder view when there are unread messages.

Cheers
