Ok.

The default color selected is still a problem for completely black
background. Would there be better alternative to currently used "cyan"?
Like using "dark green"?

The current definition reads:

(defface comint-highlight-prompt
  '((((background dark)) (:foreground "cyan"))
    (t (:foreground "dark blue")))
  "Face to use to highlight prompt when `comint-highlight-prompt' is non-nil."
  :group 'comint)
