Timer numbers are now red and all but impossible to read when outside. I can't find anywhere to change it, is there a way, or is there another app to download that makes a good substitute/replacement?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16
I cannot create a formal different than the one I’ve shown. I don’t see any way to make those digits any other color than I’ve shown (certainly not orange).
Please post a screenshot of the timer.

For what it’s worth, here is how the timer would appear when I return to my Home Screen - on the top in my iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island. I still have no control over its appearance, but perhaps using the timer with a Home Screen instead of a Lock Screen somehow works better for you.
Thanks, but it doesn't, the Timer is part of the tools available in Control Panel. It's a countdown timer you can set when you're trying to do something that requires interval attention and use the intervals to get other things done. In our case it's used to move sprinklers as needed so areas get proper water without flooding.
On the Lock Screen once the timer starts if you raise the phone to see how much time remains the numbers are orange, and weirdly on my husband's phone they are a much redder orange. He just turned off the "Increase Contrast" setting and that made it the lighter orange so he'll see if that helps at all.
They're hard to read outside in the sun which is where he's checking it most of the time. They used to be white.
Thank you for supplying that screenshot! I now understand you’re talking about the timer on your Lock Screen.
You can affect its appearance somewhat by making changes at Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
If “timer” really means the clock on your Wallpaper screen, see this article.

That countdown timer has this format. Does yours appear different?
