Description

The current ruler tool allows changing the ruler color, but the tick marks and labels are rendered with a fixed color that often has insufficient contrast.

For example, with a dark teal ruler, the tick marks become almost invisible because they are rendered in a very similar color.

Please consider one (or more) of the following options:

Separate colors
Ruler background (fill)
Tick marks
Labels
Automatic contrast
Automatically choose black or white for ticks and labels depending on the ruler background color.
Theme-aware rendering
Ensure that tick marks and labels always have sufficient contrast in both light and dark themes.
