Steps to reproduce

Mattermost version: 5.5.1 (63830002741) OS: macOS Sonoma 14.0

Whenever Boards are fresh opened in the app the colors are too bright. What resolves it though is saving again the same custom theme settings. And it works fine until Boards are reopened again.

Expected behavior

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

can i work on this ?

[Sudhanva-Nadiger]

@matthewbirtch do you have anything to add on before I start ?

[matthewbirtch]

I don't think so. The expected result as shown in the description is what I would expect as well. @asaadmahmood might have more context since he was most closely working on boards in the past.

We encountered this issue (or a similar one) because of theme compatibility.

This issue persists on Mattermost v9.3. When I change any color manually in a theme setting, the colors in the boards are correct. But as soon as the page is reloaded, they are back to blindingly bright.
