Removing themes may lead to problems for people with disabilities. There is a 4.5 year old JIRA issue concerning this (JRA-16078) . Atlassian has admitted to break the "UI rule of thumb". "Barrier free" is sadly not important for Atlassian, but only "an edge case".

Yes, get them to remove the theme, or adjust it for better contrast.
