iOS18 extend wallpaper and status bar colour issue

When turning on extend wallpaper iOS picks a solid colour to push before wallpaper starts. For some reason that colour is almost the same as the status bar's and I couldn't find any option to change either of those. Now I'm struggling to see battery or mute info at first glance. I don't wanna use wallpaper without extend option as the picture looks too zoomed in and low quality plus I get better readability this way.

Is this a bug or can I somehow change this behaviour?
