On dark theme, the `active` state on certain buttons (mostly visible with keyboard navigation, only transient when using mouse/touch) is dark purple on dark background and harsh to the eyes:

Red `hover` state as well:

Perhaps simply tweaking the red value/brightness would fix the 2nd and 3rd points.
