Photos keyword text contrast - workaround?

I have a difficult time reading the text in the Ventura Photos.app Keyword Manager window. It is very low contrast in light or dark mode.


Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any workarounds others have used?

This is what Keyword Manager looks like to me, and it appears pretty readable.

'Ive clicked on the picture on the left, and keywords for that picture are highlighted. The top shows only the shortcut group of keywords, but they highlight like this all the way down.


However, if I don't click on any picture, then the keywords are indeed low contrast and hard to read,

because the keywords are grayed out, meaning they are not available, since no picture has been selected.


You can also select "Edit Keywords" at the bottom of the manager, and the list is more like the first example.


Is this different from what you see?

Due to eye disease and failing eyesight I've had to go to the Dark mode and increase contrast. This is what my keyword pane looks like without a photo selected:



\What a photo is selected and you click on the Keyword pane the assigned Keywords change to Orange (in my case):



Here's how I've setup the Contrast for my Dark mode:



Then I play with the Display contrast slider to get the best for my situation.
