grub edit screen - setting font colour

Hello:

Running up to date Devuan Daedalus:

$ uname -a
Linux devuan 6.1.0-41-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.158-1 (2025-11-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ 

Default grub:

# grub-install --version
grub-install (GRUB) 2.06-13+deb12u1
# 

I have a setting for the fonts in /etc/default/grub which suits me:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
--- snip ---
GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="white/red"
GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="yellow/red"
--- snip ---

The thing is that when editing the command line in the grub screen, those values do not hold.
The font is green and cannot be distiguished properly because of the background I use.
ie: confetti.png from MiyoLinux

Q: is there a way to get same font colours on the [edit] screen?

Best,

A.
