Fixes #8539.

Motivation / Problem

Some company graph colours are very hard to read, making you want to change your company colour.

See #8539 for a detailed explanation.

Description

For the current choice, colours like Mauve, Dark Green and Purple
are nearly invisible in the graphs. Using a darker background
resolves that issue.

Going by the screenshots in #8539, changing the background to black should have the biggest impact.
Except for some Pikka GRF, none of the colours are particulary black-ish. While medium grey conflicts with everything by definition.
