In Darkmode the color of the Directory hotlist [*] and History list [↓] seems to be hardcoded and not changeable like other elements:
[ColorsDark]

DarkForeground=12345
DarkHighlight=12345
DarkBackground=12345678

Are you on Windows 10 1809 or newer? Then these menus are drawn by Windows, and their color cannot be changed.
Btw, on older Windows versions these menus are bright gray.

This (initiating the darkmode) is the moment to change this behavior and make these menus indipendent from Windows colors.

These are not owner drawn menus. This means that TC just tells Windows "Show a context menu", and Windows does the rest.
There are other dialog elements drawn by Windows with its own colors:
- scrollbars in listboxes
- the main menu in TC 32-bit when not using icons

Unfortunately Windows does not allow that.
