NetBox version

v4.3.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When looking at rack elevations from the device view, the device name labels for other devices in the rack are hard to read, especially with the white text, for the front elevation view. It doesn't matter if using light mode or dark mode

For example in dark mode and light mode:

Right now, the only work around is to go to the rack object itself, and look at the elevation:

It would be great to either be able to manually set the text label color, or improve the readability of the text by hardcoding the color to black. Hardcoding to black would match the rear elevation view text color.

Use case

This change would improve readability and accessibility for Netbox users

I used my browser inspector to update the text color to black and here's what it looks like in light mode vs dark mode:

We should use already defined values for these, if possible. Ideally something already defined at the NetBox level, but failing that, something defined in one of styling libraries.
