With a dark theme chosen, the "run" pane (not the python "console" nor the "terminal" accessible within PyCharm) shows a very dark font such that it can barely be seen. Switching to a light theme, all is well. I've found help (within Pycharm, here, Google, and YouTube) on setting the font colors for the editor, console, and terminal panes, but not a thing on changing the run-pane colors. Any ideas?

I usually just use native Editor settings in the Preferences. So you can try going into the :
- Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Console Colors
- click on Console Colors and use the menu on the right
- Console > Backgroud > select prefered color
- Click Apply to test the color
- Click OK to save changes
Hope that helps.

Thanks, but this didn't work for me. I neglected to indicate in my question that I'm using the Community Edition 2017.2.3. The console-color selections seems to have no effect on the run pane. Perhaps it does in other editions/versions. What did work for me was @Dan Cornilescu's suggestion that I use the Grep plug-in which seems to set the run-pane colors just the way I want them.

I see make sense.
FWIW, I am using the Grep Console plugin (in my older 5.0.6 PyCharm Pro version) which also controls the Run panes and has a fairly configurable color scheme (both background and foreground):
This is how the Run pane looks like (snapshot intentionally smudged):
