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.<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.
