Maybe you should dither with a brighter color.
The contrasts are pretty harsh.

I'm also not sure if the dithering adds anything besides obfuscating the simple figure to the piece.
Are you going for anything specific or is this just experimenting around?

Dithering is not my intention here.

The dark color requires harsh contrast to make anything slightly readable(I'm pretty stranded in regards of color choice/usage in right now , maybe I'll find a soultion well' see)  

Pixel art revolves largely around obfuscating the grid which it is made of, so I thought why not try the complete opposites + I'm searching for a way to give every pixel in an piece meaning instead of merging it into clusters and discarding its individual meaning, though in this attempt half of the available pixels are used for the grid.

well anyway here is an update:

Since this has already been pulled off successfully I see no point in continuing this topic, will have to find another way.
