Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/4389

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Using Hoppscotch 24.8.3 on macOS, variables in the request body result in highlighted text that is difficult to read in dark mode. Perhaps making the text white inside the highlighted portion would provide better contrast.

Steps to reproduce

Create a request and enter any variable name enclosed in angle brackets (<< >>) inside a JSON request body
The red or green highlighted text is difficult to make out.

Environment

Production

Version
