Description mohican 2024-07-30 14:14:12 UTC 
Description:
just installed the newest version of Linux Mint, it comes with LibreOffice 24.2.4.
I observed a very annoying difference from the last versions : now text is white on more light color background
e.g. light green #00F00
see test file attached

some unfortunate tweaking has occurred on when to switch to white text !

Steps to Reproduce:
1.write a text in Writer or Calc
2.select it and choose a personalised background color 00F00

Actual Results:
text turns white and is barely visible

Expected Results:
text should remain black on light backgrounds


Reproducible: Always

currently the limit is between
10FF10 white text (not readable)
11FF11 black text (readable)

from my tests I suggest the switch to white should occur around 00C000
Comment 3 mohican 2024-07-30 15:05:31 UTC 
or even around 009900 where I find white and black both equally readable
