At the beginning everything works fine. But at some point and without my being able to appreciate when, the drop-down menus are colored black and the texts are not distinguishable, which remain in their black color.

Please set "Enable Experimental Features" from Tools -> Options -> Advanced and retest.  If that resolves this is a dupe of bug 151756 

The os/DE color theme support is more completely implemented in the 7.5 release, experimental in the 7.4 builds.

You can also test with with a parallel install of 7.5.1 or nightly master against 7.6, see the Wiki -- https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

I am working on Windows 10 with libreoffice 7.4.6.2 (in principle more stable version). 
My path is a bit different: tools, options, advanced, enable experimental settings, check the box.
I restart LO, in this case writer works in dark mode. As I prefer not to have experimental settings enabled, I disable it again.
I restart LO and it opens in classic mode. After several days without problems, the drop-down menus have a black background again and so do the letters. I restart LO and it is fixed, but I can't locate the action that leads to this problem in the colors.
Maybe it can influence (I have not checked it): locale Spanish but libreoffice texts in English; this leads me to sometimes press Ctrl-N instead of Crl-B.
Well, if you can give me some advice, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I will be patient and wait for the next releases.
You will notice that I don't speak English, sorry for the additional difficulty for you.

Sorry, nothing to be done for 7.4 and already corrected for LO 7.5

Upgrade to LO 7.5.2 just released.

In case you find it useful for future releases, I think the problem arises when I work with LibreOffice and QGIS Layout Manager at the same time. In principle, I think that the two applications work with their own version of Java, but it is as if there was some interference.
