iOS 16 changed our font colors to something unreadable. How can I fix?

With iOS 15.7 we had a Aqua colored wallpaper (required for us) and all of the app title names and other text on the home screen was black. This was perfect. Very easy to read. After installing iOS 16.1.1 this text is now white and VERY difficult to read. The clock in the upper left and radio signal strength and battery percentage (love that) at the top are also extremely difficult to read.

How do I change this text to Black without changing our required Aqua colored wallpaper?

Well, we were able to have the black text with iOS 15.7 but not 16.1. I was led to believe that iOS 16 was some kind of an upgrade allowing more flexibility on the home screen. It appears it was a downgrade.

I've been experimenting with wallpaper colors. In order to get black text you have to drive the wallpaper color extremely bright. Just a couple of percentages from full white. Disappointing.

Thank you for your assistance.

You can't. If this is an issue, you will need to talk to whoever is mandating that color of wallpaper.
