Notes 6 displays wrong text colour

I’m using Notes 6.5.4, and have just noticed that, in both client and designer, the text colour I set is not always what is displayed.

I think this may have been the same with earlier revisions of ND6, but don’t have any to check.

Some colours I’ve tested (numbers are R,G,B):

57,107,165 displays as: 65,129,192

52,180,160 displays as: 66,66,130

148,181,198 displays as: 127,194,188

This doesn’t occur with all colours - I checked a few of the standard colours (the ones appearing in the top two rows of the colour picker in the properties box), and they displayed as set.

This difference does not occur with Notes 5 - I have checked the above colours in 5.0.13, and the displayed colour matches the set colour for all of them.

Has anyone else observed the same effect, and does anyone know of a Notes setting to fix it?

Could it be the ‘Use System Colors’ in the basic user preferences?

I’ve got the “Use System Colors” setting turned off. I’ve tried turning it on, and the problem still occurs. I’ve also tried turning on “Use Web Palette”, and the problem still occurs.Again: this is only a problem in Notes 6 and above; Notes 5 shows the correct colour.

A work colleague has confirmed the problem on another computer; he also tried Notes 7 beta 3, and that has the same problem.

Since starting this thread I have found an older post describing the same problem. Link:
