You've probably got a low-quality LCD with a bad color calibration, then, or else just a really bad contrast ratio or lots of glare. That color scheme doesn't seem to me to have any colors that would clash, even to colorblind and partially-colorblind people. Sure, it's a relatively low-contrast color scheme, but I think it would be generally harder to read if the contrast were really high. You shouldn't use much in the way of full-intensity colors when you have a black background.
