Background Fill on Markers and Tags- Greyed instead of White - AC28

Hello, good day.

I want to report a problem that I have found with the background color of markers where it can accept any other color except white as it results in a pale gray color. Even if the pens are set to white, the white color is not accepted.  (The screencaps are in Spanish, sorry, but as they represent the same location of settings I assume it can't be a problem)

Other colors work fine, but white does not.

This appears to be on elevation markers, and certain tags, as you can see in the favorites screen capture, as I can see from now.

It only works with the window background setting on the “Background Fill Pen”. It doesn't work with a white pen.

In previous versions of Archicad (27 for example), it worked.

There is a setting within the work environment which displays whites as grey to be more easily visible on screen against the white screen background. If you go to the Work Environment Settings and then select On Screen View Options from the list on the left and make sure the Automatic Pen Colour Visibility Adjustment checkbox is unchecked.

Make sure to save your updated Work Environment so the settings are retained.

Thank you @Lee Hankins , in previous versions this didn't cause me any troubles because I assume it was turned off by default. But now I am aware of this setting. Cool. Thank you!
