Someone suggested using color.branch.upstream, I tried like this and variants
[color "branch"]
local = red bold
upstream = red bold
Doesn't seem to matter what I put in for upstream, including invalid
colors, gitk just ignores it and does the dark green for local
branches

Alternate, try
https://github.com/oumu/mintty-color-schemes/blob/master/base16-mintty/base16-default.minttyrc
(or any of the other colour schemes) and copy them into your .minttyrc file
(works for me on g4w : git version 2.7.0.windows.1 )

I'm on linux so I think mintty is not an option. Also, I'm a little
surprised in affects the rendering of branch tags in gitk, I would
have thought that would be an X or window system thing.

I think Philip missed that you were talking about gitk. It seems that
the problem comes from updating to Tcl/Tk 7.6, which makes green darker
as described in commit 66db14c (gitk: Color name update, 2015-10-25) and
by TIP #403 [1].
However, it seems that gitk won't actually use the updated colour if you
have an existing ~/.gitk file. You can just replace "green" with "lime"
in that file to get the new defaults, but I wonder if we should force
that for users who already have the previous defaults saved.
