I am trying to find a way to make the background color of a message window white. I can tolerate either dark or light theme, but the background color of the message refuses to accept the color white (or any other color) -- it simply stays on the light gray background.

In my attachements you can see that white was picked in the Settings in the HTMLStyle section under Composition but even when chosen these settings are ignored.

Likewise, the color of any selected text of a message can be chosen when writing an outgoing message, but it does not actually change the text of the message. "Last Picked Color" correctly reflects the last picked color, but it does not actually change anything. It's been that way for several years.

When you click to rectangular icon that, by default is black, it opens the color picker. You can try any one of several methods to make a selection from the color picker, but none of them result in the color being applied.

Momentarily, the color appears in the place where there was previously a black rectangle, to the right of "choose a color" --- but if and only if you ignore the eyedropper and the color the the left of the eyedropper and instead click on one the "favorite" color chips.

But then, when you click OK to dismiss the dialog for selecting a color, the original black remains as it was before you begin this process.

Even if you are lucky enough to see something other than black in "Last Picked Color" it still cannot be applied.

Even if you copy the hex value from the color picker and type it into the hex value field with # preceding it --- the color you've chosen becomes visible but it still cannot be applied to the selected text in the body of the email.

I made a short video (12 mb) but I can't upload it here as an image file. Here is a dropbox link to see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i3otx5pfd9khxxr/text%20color.mov?dl=0
