Font color too dark in calendar on 0.18

• /e/ version: 0.18-20210827132306
• Device model(s): FP3+
• Device rooted: no

Summary

Since 0.18 the font colors in calendar are too dark when calendar color itself is dark too.

On the attached screenshot the dark blue calendar is the most problematic one (IRL still a bit worse), but also the dark green is already not good. In Dark Mode it looks better (white font), but there is no option in the calendar app itself to set it to Dark Mode forever, it just switches with the system settings and I do not want to use Dark Mode all of the time.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

Change the color of a calendar to dark blue for example. This makes the black font hard/impossible to read.

What is the current behavior?

What is the expected correct behavior?

This issue did not exist prior to 0.18. I can’t recall what the combination was before (maybe white font on dark blue?), but certainly this is a step backwards.

Solutions

Workaround

Change phone to Dark Mode, where the color combinations are a bit better for a dark calender color (since the font is then white)
