Because of the usage of RED textcolor on a BLACK background. 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.. 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.
