old issue, new issue, what changed?


Verify your settings

>System Settings>Accessibility>Display>Contrast



ref Change Display settings for accessibility on Mac



To trouble shoot further you can:


—A SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.




—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
