Thunderbird Text Color Change not Working

Hi there- After a round with ChatGPT and many o' google searches, I still have not found the reason why the text color change tool in the formatting bar in Thunderbird (128.5.1esr) for Mac is not working.

Specifically, I see other HTML formatting working when composing an email, but I do not see any color changes. I have enabled and disabled the formatting bar; changed the sending format between Plain and HTML; unchecked Default Text Colors....and a few more steps I may be forgetting.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Specifically, I see other HTML formatting working when composing an email, but I do not see any ''color'' changes.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Two possibilities: order of closing colour dialogs, and colour override settings.
