Created attachment 180772 [details] A presentation illustrating the issue Consider the attached single-slide presentation. It was originally created in Powerpoint, but the table was created in Impress. * The text in the black-background column - is black. * The text in the purple-background column - is black. * The text in the transparent box in the title area is black, even though the underlying graphic is dark, night-colored even. This, despite all text having been formatted in Automatic text color.

(In reply to LeroyG from comment #1) > Reproducible from scratch You mean, not with my file? If so, can you give reproduction instructions? Also, this is actually two-issues-in-one: Dark area, and transparent area over a dark background object. Which did you reproduce?
When you click the black-cell in the table to edit the text, the text gets a white color. But when you exit the cell, then text becomes black again. This does not seem to be the correct behavior - BUG. As for the text in the transparent box saying "Automatic for the people", I believe the result is expected, since the box itself is transparent, so it can't know what's beneath it to determine text color - NAB.
Confirmed with file. Tested with many versions. Before 4.4 all of the cells have blue colour.

Font color is currently calculated against Light Blue 2, see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157568 (reverted).
