OneNote table shading does not work in the Mac Profile, but works in another?

When I use OneNote on my main account on my macbook pro, shading the tables does not work. I try to shade my table cells to no avail. In addition to this, when I highlight my cells, it is an ugly yellow color as displayed here:

When I log on to OneNote online the shading does work with my account, so I know its not a microsoft account problem. Also, when I log onto other accounts on my mac book, the highlighting of tables it back to normal (the normal grey) and shading works. I am thinking it is an account problem on the mac book user and I do not know how to solve it.

I have contacted microsoft numerous of times, uninstalled and reinstalled a few, cleared my cache, boot the computer in safe mode, to no avail. Please help!

Hello, for those having the same problem, I have solved it.

Is it a setting for your display. When you increase the contrast of displays settings, for some reason it makes the problem happen All you need to do is this:

Go to System Preferences
Click Accessibility
Go to Display
Uncheck the box that says "Increase Contrast"

Thank you SO MUCH apple for your help. If it weren't for you I would have not WASTED so much time with this.
