Tower Plus EBT2250, light grey text on black
Who wants text that is really hard to read without a powerful light? My Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 ($3000) has light grey text on a black background everywhere. Even the keyboard! It took me twice as long as normal to setup and some errors were hard to fix. I have ugly printed labels applied.

What Monitor do you have? How is it connected and to what? The standard RTX4060 Nvidia Card? Which port?
Is it still like that if you move the connection to the Intel HD adapter on the back of the 2250?
Do you have another PC to connect the monitor to to know if the problem is not the monitor?
Any attempts to fix this did you try? Like change the Windows Theme for the monitor? There are many thinks you can change on the Windows Settings Personalization page that might help as well.

@ispalten This has nothing to do with a monitor. Light grey text on black is hard to read. Not reading on a monitor, reading on what's in front of you, like the keyboard.

@user_13516f
Sorry, your 'everywhere' threw me into thinking it was on the Monitor.
When I bought the EBT2250 I opt'ed for the Wireless, in White even.
I've got a bunch of Dell KB's here, and they and I just checked 3 of them, all 'white' lettering? Maybe they changed them?
Due to our desk configurations wired KB's are difficult to connect, wires not long enough. I usually by Logitech Wireless KB and Mouse combo's, $40 and up depending on 'features'.
Why not just buy another Full Sized KB at Amazon, $12 or less? Easy fix...
I assume you have the KB216?
Looks like this:
Not the easiest to see, and not white...
Might contact Support and complain I guess?
Dell sells that one for $15 and has it in White as well?

If you complain, maybe they'd send one to you?
