Date strings are not readable due to their colors in blog section when filtered by a tag

Acknowledge the following

• [ ✅] I carefully read and followed the Getting Started guide.
• [ ✅] I read through FAQ and searched through the past issues, none of which addressed my issue.
• [✅] The issue I am raising is a potential bug in al-folio and not just a usage question.
  [For usage questions, please post in the Discussions instead of raising an issue.]

Describe the bug

The dates in the year filter, sample-posts, and # formatting in blog section are hard to read within the dark mode, since they are grey. Could not found any color or theme setting to change them. I am adding the screenshots below for the year, sample-posts tag and # formatting from blog page filtering, where the dates are almost blended with the background.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to blog page
2. Click on the "2021" tag from the blog posts in the first page
3. Or go to the second blog page to click external-services, sample-posts or # formatting tags
4. See that the dates when you filter by tag are unreadable when in dark theme

Expected behavior
Dates (Sep 28. 2020 formatted) should have a different color which can be readble, or can be edited.
