I find that theme very aesthetically pleasing, but I'm always having a hard time reading when the contrast between the text and background is so small compared to the theme vividchalk that I always fall back to. Is this something you get used to, or is it a hopeless case for me to learn to use these beautiful themes?

It could just be monitor gamma. And there's no reason you can't tweak the themes to your liking.
