From my limited experimentation, it's the color map that's left messed
up so badly that "white" is rendered as a dark grey that's pretty much
indistinguishable from black.  If you're at a command line prompt (such
as from display suspension), try "vidcontrol yellow blue".  It won't
actually do yellow and blue because the color map is messed up, but, for
me, it switches to two colors different enough to be readable.

vidcontrol has 16 color combinations.  In my testing when things are
messed up, 0-7 are alike and useless.  8-15 are also alike but readable
("yellow blue" is #14).  Your results may differ.

This didn't used to be a problem.  It's gotten worse with recent
versions of Xorg.
