In night mode, the color on sent messages is extremely dark, to the point that the message bubbles blend in with the background. It seems as though I can only change the color of incoming message bubbles, not the sent ones. This presents a contrast issue as folks with visual impairments have difficulties distinguishing individual texts from each other. Attaching a screenshot example:
STEPS
Enable Night Mode in the Theme Settings
Send an sms to someone
Observe the low contrast between the message and the background
EXPECTED
Ideally, the user would be able to customize the color of sent messages in the settings to find a color scheme that worked for them, but otherwise increasing the brightness of the current sent messages in night mode to a lighter grey would help a great deal (though not to bright or there would also be contrast issues with the white text)
OBSERVATIONS
Instead, the sent message bubbles are a very dark grey which blends into the also dark grey background. This makes it very difficult to pick out the text message bubble from the background
