I use "monokai-pro-octagon“ theme but find its default text color much too bright,

How could get it a bit dimmer?

Easiest way is to pick a theme that you prefer.

I prefer this one excluding the bright white text.

Then have a look for a similar one [here](https://emacsthemes.com/).
Or, find out which faces you need to modify by putting the point in the relevant place then typing `C-u C-x =` then [customise them](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Face-Customization.html).

Put the point on the text face you want to change and type `M-x customize-face`. Now pick a new colour. You can use any colour you like, but I think `M-x list-colors-display` is useful for inspiration.
