    $\begingroup$ I suspect I might have to change some option in the option inspector, but I don't see any option to change label background colors. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 4, 2020 at 15:55
  • $\begingroup$ Have you changed any of the top set of default settings in System Preferences... > General? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 4, 2020 at 23:27
  • $\begingroup$ Also, are you using a stylesheet other than the Default stylesheet? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 4, 2020 at 23:39
  • $\begingroup$ @m_goldberg I have not set anything to black in general system preferences. Appearance is set to light and accent color is set to blue. Thanks for the idea. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2020 at 0:29
  • $\begingroup$ @m_goldberg I don't know much about stylesheets and perhaps I've accidentally set something I shouldn't have set. When I choose Format>Edit Stylesheet, it says my notebook is inheriting base definitions from stylesheet "Default.nb". Is there anything else I should check? When I choose Format>Stylesheet, I see a submenu. No menu items are checked. Should I select "Default"? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2020 at 0:42
