MacOs Notes text color fades

when I open Notes on macOS, all the text in all my notes has faded to a washed out version of the color I originally typed it in.....black turns to grey.....red turns to light red, etc......even when I manually change it back and close the app and reopen it......faded again.....anybody know how to fix this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

no other way besides deleting everything and starting over with my computer?......easier just to stop using the notes app.....but thanks for the info brother.

Safe Mode doesn't delete anything. It's just a method of testing for problematic third-party software.

Safe Mode is one of there Most Basic of Basic Trouble shooting method and does not require a Rocket Scientist with A PhD is Astro Physics to perform this simple task.


Respect the choices but at same time a little work on the part of the user may save a lot of time and disappoints when things do not go right.


You choice


Good Luck with this computer issue
