Tools->Options->Appearance. When I choose 80% gray for document background, I can't select black or blue for the font color (the setting is ignored and all text I type is white), but I can select light colors such as yellow. Similarly, if I select black for document background, I can't select blue for font color. No options in Tools->Options->Accessibility are checked. It seems this functionality might be intentional: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/accessibility/#_Colors%20and%20Fonts but is there no way to override it? For my own accessibility issues, I need a dark document color AND a moderately dark font color.

Still reproducible. Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 425af6845ebe066c950b0b63f50563e067485f3e CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: threaded The tragedy is, that LibreOffice has so many bugs with missing or insufficient contrast--and this working contrast setting annoys people.

I think the behavior can be changed if you go to the font attribute (either in the style, of in Format>Character) On the Font effects tab, the color is set Automatic. Does it help if you change that?
Tested the grays with 6.3 and the switch is now made only at Dark Gray 2, so nowhere near the lightness of 80% (Light Gray 3, I think). Also, I can change the font colour to black with Dark Gray 2 background colour. Let's close.
