Change window text font color?

1

I just transitioned from Google browser to Brave browser but I am having a font color problem. Brave is set to:
Theme: Carbon Blackout Colors: Same as Windows (Windows 7, high contrast, black background, lime green window text, yellow link text)
But in Brave the window text is purple instead of green. None of my Windows theme settings involve a purple font at all. (Note: The font remains purple even when I set the Brave colors as ‘Dark’ instead of ‘Same as Windows’.)
What is causing this purple window text and how do I fix it? See image:

@EricBrooks do a favor and help provide some details and confirm some of what you have said. For example:

  • What OS? (I’m assuming you’re saying Windows 7?)

  • Which version of Brave are you using? (Windows 7 lost support, so you can’t be using more recent)

As much as people hate being asked (Idea here is to rule out extensions, cookies, or settings.)

  • Have you tried opening in Private window?
  • How about a new profile?

I know I tested on Brave, setting it to Dark and you see it pulled up like below:

I also tried to toggle my OS settings between Dark and Light, in case it played a part, but doesn’t seem to change anything.

My OS is Windows 7 Pro. I’ve ruled out extensions, cookies, cache and settings. Tried opening in a private window. I’d prefer not to create a new profile.
NOTE: For some reason the problem is not happening when I use Rumble video sites…

Don’t have to if you don’t want, but keep in mind I’m talking new brower profile. It doesn’t hurt anything. It just would help because for the most part everything in new profile would be default except for maybe Content Filtering in Shields and anything you have changed in brave://flags.

Other thing I’ll ask (besides mentioning you didn’t answer which version of Brave you’re using) is if toggling off Shields makes a difference? I’m wanting to say long ago had been an issue where something like this might have happened with strict fingerprint settings or whatever. But memory also tells me it was a conflict with an extension as to why…but it’s something simple you can test.

-NOTE-

I did mess up on one thing. High Contrast, I missed that on my testing. And it doesn’t seem to be easy for me to try to match it using my Windows 11 Pro. I’ll tag @Mattches and @steeven here just to see if there’s anything they can see or think of.

The Flags! You nailed it. The first problem I had was needing to remove a High Contrast extension I had installed in Google Chrome. But before I figured out it was the extension, I tried changing the ‘dark’ flag to RGB to solve the High Contrast problem and forgot to reset it to ‘default’ after I figured out the High Contrast extension was the problem…
Thanks for taking the time to help me figure it out!
