I'm using VS Code with the Jupyter's Python Interactive window so that I can run individual cells and get the output, figures etc. in the Python Interactive window.

However, some of the colors are unreadable on darker themes, for example see the blue and red words in the example below.

Changing the theme does not change the colors in the Python Interactive window.

Not a complete answer to your question unfortunately, but I have found the built in dark themes remain legible in the python interactive window. You may find that you have to restart vs code for the theme change to occur. This is a screen shot while using the included dark+ theme.
