Time dim on lock screen

Hi! So recently I’ve been facing an issue where the time is faded and hard to see on my Lock Screen. I’ve tried changing the color but nothing fixes it. I’ve included two pictures for comparison. One is what it looks like normally, and one is what it looks like when I go to edit my lock screens. I was hoping for some assistance in fixing it!

Time on lock is dim Why does my time on the Lock Screen changed to a lighter color (dimmed) and how do I change it back to normal? I’ve already checked and it’s not on low battery mode

My Lock Screen Clock The clock on my lock screen it super dim. I have messed with all the settings and nothing will fix it. I have the clock color set to the auto color where it matches the background, and when i’m editing the lock screen, it’s normal and bright/visible but when i set it, it gets dim again. I don’t have any focus mode on, and it just started today (when i hadn’t messed with any settings or anything). Not sure what the problem is, can someone help me?

Time on lock screen faded Every so often for the past year or longer, the time on my lock screen would turn grey instead of white, then a few weeks later, it would turn white again, then some weeks later, grey, etc. The sane happens for the widgets just below, but not the text at the bottom. It happened again today. Restarting the phone fixed it. However, it seems to happen regularly. Greyed out Not greyed out I've read similar threads but haven't seen an explanation for this. For example, it's not low battery mode as that setting dims the whole display but doesn't change the screenshot. Neither does reducing the white point, as this affects everything. These are my wallpaper settings for the time display: The one thing I've noticed lately is that it seems to be grey in the second half of the month and white in the first half, but I can't confirm if this was always the case. This month has 31 days and today's the 17th and I first noticed it being grey today. However, restarting the phone made it turn white again.

The feature is very new. You need to experiment. I found that getting the maximum contracts helps, eg white letters on black screen
