Feature: Add support for custom color theming #138

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When using impala in a terminal with a dark theme (like Vantablack with #0d0d0d background), the default highlight/selection colors have very poor contrast and are nearly unreadable. Since impala uses ratatui/crossterm with hardcoded RGB colors, it ignores the terminal's ANSI color palette entirely.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a [style] or [theme] section in config.toml to customize colors, similar to how other TUI apps handle theming. For example:

[style]
selected_fg = "#ffffff"
selected_bg = "#3a3a3a"
header_fg = "#ffffff"
border = "#8d8d8d"

Or at minimum, support for respecting the terminal's ANSI color palette for highlighted/selected items.

Thanks for the great tool!
