Hi. We discussed with Martin this issue. I need that it is fixed, because I am presenting this matrix in a publication. Could you please change the code accordingly? Thank you

@marmanda we will keep this in consideration for future releases. However we have this color scheme from a while and there are lot content which depends on the screenshot, so we need to be diligent on changing the colors.
