Dark mode text coloring issues

I use Dark Mode in online outlook. Recently, when I reply to emails the text is being set to White instead of Automatic. This makes my emails appear blank to those not using dark mode. When I try to fix or recolor the text, it gets sent through as white text highlighted black.

These are all very recent problems, please fix these issues so that when I type an email or reply, the text is always set to automatic and will change to white on someone's screen using dark mode and black to someone's screen using regular mode. I should not have to check each email and reply to be sure my audience can read it.

    Also having this issue all of a sudden--I spend all day on email for work and can't stand the white screen all day. Please resolve! I just wasted so much time trying to fix this on my end before realizing it was a wider problem.

    Hello Kalyndra,

    Thank you for choosing the Microsoft Community! We are happy to help you.

    I understand you use Outlook on the Web in dark mode, but when you reply to emails, they are being set to white instead of automatic making it difficult to read for recipients that are not using dark mode. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    To help us narrow down this issue kindly try the troubleshooting steps below and let us know the result for further troubleshooting:

    1. Kindly log in on a different browser and check if the issue persists. You can also log in via private/incognito mode.
    2. Clear browser cache: for Microsoft Edge see How to Clear Your Cache - Microsoft 365, for Chrome check this link from Google link.

    May I know if this is happening with all users you are sending emails to?

    We look forward to hearing from you; Please understand that our initial reply may not always immediately resolve the issue. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Sincerely,

    Simbarashe | Microsoft Community Moderator
