Microsoft Word Dark Mode, Font is too dark

Hello! So I am a fan of Microsoft Word dark mode however the large majority of the colored fonts are too dark, I need them to stick out more as most of them are darker than the actual white font. Selecting one of the "Theme or more colors" results in a darker color to be input into the actual document. Is there some sort of option to reduce the degree of darkness in the font?

Colored fonts are supposed to POP and most I have selected are doing the exact opposite. Please help if you know how to fix this!

Hi @HawaUBee-9361,
Welcome to Q&A forum!
To better understand this issue, could you provide us with some screenshots of the tests and expected results?

According to my research, please check if the Gradient function is helpful to you, it will change the color, transparency and shade of the text.

Besides, About sticking out text, you could also try to add effects to the text.
Any updates, please let me know.

Viki,

I have figured out what is wrong:
- The text color pallet does not adjust to what you will actually see in a dark mode document.
- Standard colors that pop normally don't do so in dark mode, the darker the color selected in the pallet the lighter the color will be in the dark mode document.

  • don't know if you can alert the programers to make these adjustments but I think several others probably have the same problem!128286-screen-shot-2021-09-01-at-111415-am.png

Hi @HawaUBee-9361,
Thanks for your reply and sharing. I am glad to hear that you have figured this out.
And I suggest you go to File>Feedback in Word to submit this suggestion to Microsoft directly. Microsoft is still making continuous improvements based on user needs.
Thanks for your understanding!
