Hi Gabriel-
Pd mostly just uses black text and line segments on a white background. To customize the black "foreground" color you can search for the string "black" in the pd source ('src' subdirectory), replace it with something else, and recompile. To change the white background, go to the "tcl" subdirectory instead and search for the string "white", again changing it as needed - no recompile needed in this case since it's all interpreted scripts.
(I have it on my 0.56 list to make these two, plus the selection color (blue) configurable - but I've got a lot of other stuff queued up too so this won't happen for a while).
And of course there's this old PR that would make setting the colours configurable by the user so you do not have to recompile:
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/196
iirc, it won't allow you to change the boldness of lines, if that's also desired.
I'm personally happy with the colours as they are, but there are obviously reasons beyond aesthetics to want a different colour set (and also to be able to be able to visually distinguish between different elements: so one colour to rule them all might not be enough)
