pasteboard color will not change -- it stays dark gray. I want it light gray but it will not change to any color, much less light gray.

Overprint preview is OFF.

this bug exists in both indesign 2022 and indesign 2025 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.5 / dark mode
5K intel iMac 24GB RAM.

I don't use ID2025 because it is totally unusable on sonoma on intel iMac -- but tested it to see if the pasteboard color bug is there too and it is.

definitely exists since recent sonoma and ID updates late 2024/2025.
