Hello! So I am a fan of Microsoft Word dark mode however the large majority of the colored fonts are too dark, I need them to stick out more as most of them are darker than the actual white font. Selecting one of the "Theme or more colors" results in a darker color to be input into the actual document. Is there some sort of option to reduce the degree of darkness in the font?

Colored fonts are supposed to POP and most I have selected are doing the exact opposite. Please help if you know how to fix this!

    Hi @Hawa U Bee ,
    Welcome to Q&A forum!
    To better understand this issue, could you provide us with some screenshots of the tests and expected results?

    According to my research, please check if the Gradient function is helpful to you, it will change the color, transparency and shade of the text.

    Besides, About sticking out text, you could also try to add effects to the text.
    Any updates, please let me know.
