Text in Textbox looks different from main text

Hello Everyone,



When I enter the same text in both my main document and a text box, the text looks different if you compare them. (Using the same font, font size, ..) Please see my attachment.

Is this normal?



Kind Regards,

Jérémy

The body text is parked on a solid white background, and the text uses shades of greens, greys, blues, and browns that make the text look darker. The text in the Text box uses only shades of green, and because the background is transparent — appears less dark than the exact same color applied to the body text. Filling the Text box with a white background does not correct this disparity.


Copying and pasting the body text into the Text box, or copying/pasting the body text style onto the Text box content — neither approach solves this text coloration difference.
