S9 predictive text is way too faint

[Android Central Question]

I have a Galaxy S9, and recently when I attempt to type the three predictive text words it has offered me have been in a really faint grey which I can barely read. Seems to be happening in all applications today, in recent days I've seen it happening sporadically, possibly app-dependent although I'm not sure.

My phone autoupdates as normal - it says last update was at 28th May 2019 at 08:46.

Turning predictive text off and on doesn't seem to help, and nor does restarting the phone., and I can't find any setting that defines the colour of the predictive text. How can I make my predictive text legible again?
Thanks.

Are you using the stock keyboard? Have you cleared the cache partition and rebooted since the update? Have you gone into whatever keyboard settings you have?

I had the same issue after a December 2019 update to my stock S8. Clearing the cache partition seems to have fixed it.
