Microsoft have been f*king up colour schemes since at least the W98/W2k era, and have never fixed the problems, which have carried over more or less unchanged into every version of Windows since. Particularly, having a dark background or paper and a light foreground or pen tends not to work well, because so many dialog boxes, tooltips, etc, have been hard coded (bad enough!) inconsistently (much, much worse!): https://www.macfh.co.uk/Test/ColourSchemesBugs.html -- Fake news kills!
