        Hi,
evolution uses theme_fg_color for the text. I tried with your theme,
which defines it as #555 and yes, it looks pretty grey-ish. I changed
it to #000 and it's much better. That's in:
   /usr/share/themes/Numix/gtk-3.20/gtk.gresource
Search for:
   @define-color theme_fg_color #555;
which is near the top. Ask them why they define it that way.

Rather than changing it in the system file (which gets overwritten
whenever the package is updated), create a user file:
   ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
and add to it this line (indentation for clarity only):
   @define-color theme_fg_color #000;
That worked just fine here (evolution started after this change saved).

You can object that evolution should derive its colors for the preview
and composer body as a sane widget, which is true, though, on the other
hand, it's quite hard to get just the color from gtk themes to be used
in the web page, and it had been since the move to CSS in gtk+, harder
and harder all the time, thus it is how it is.

        Bye,
