SoftMask darkens TextMeshPro Texts Colored Outlines

[eroanasu]

Would like to use a SoftMask on a Container which could have text (TMP) with an colored outline. However, it seems to make that outline color darker when on a SoftMask. Is this a bug? The color values on the Material itself is exactly the same, only the visible output changes.

SoftMask Version 2.2.2 Platform: Windows, but will also build for iOS and Android Unity version: 2022.3.20f1 Build options: URP

I've also tested on older version (2021.3.37f1) of Unity and SoftMask version 1.0.2 and had the same results. TMP Essentials and TMP Support for ugui 2.0 also included. TextOutlineSample.zip
