I unfortunately don't have access to a Mac machine to I can't test this 
patch.

Were the colors fine before c02efc1 (git-gui: improve dark mode support, 
2020-09-26)? From what I understand that patch should not affect the 
colors of the "Staged Changes" or the "Unstaged Changes" parts.

If the colors were fine earlier then we need to figure out why colors 
from the theme are being used even when we hard-code green or red when 
creating those labels.

Can you give it a try on a commit before c02efc1 and see what happens?

Agreed. Though I certainly wish we didn't have to do this.
