iPhone 14: Music app playlist colors makes text unreadable

My iPhone 14 just updated to iOS 26.4 and now the background in my music playlists is the color of the album artwork. The problem is, I cannot see the song titles or other information now due to the color. I'd like to change it back to just black text on a white background...how do I do this?


I have already turned off Dark Mode and reduced transparency via the "Display & Text Size" options in the Accessibility menu in Settings. I have also turned off Animated Art in the Music app menu in Settings.

I'd expressed an honest opinion about the update. I did not swear or use strong language but my comment was edited by a moderator because expressing a dislike goes against community standards etc. So trying again. In my opinion the update is not a good one for me personally. I don't want my playlist colours matching anything. I want black text on a white background like before and every time I update a playlist.. boom it changes colour again to whatever song has been added. It makes it impossible to read. Hope that is sufficiently sanitised dear moderators x
