Broadcast message banner has wrong text foreground color since 15.7.0
Summary
Since v15.7.0, broadcast messages appear to have inverted text foreground color - dark gray text on a medium-dark colored background. When switching to dark mode, the text foreground is corrected. This occurs on all "light" themes.
Tried another browser (Firefox on mobile), issue is visible there too.
Issue persisted after reboot, with all messages since the upgrade, including newly-created ones.
Steps to reproduce
- Have GitLab instance running on self-hosted (Ubuntu 22.04, environment info below), version 15.6.2-ee
- Set broadcast message stating server will be down for maintenance
- Upgrade GitLab to version 15.7.0-ee
- Check back after finish, broadcast message (and all future messages) will use wrong foreground in light themes
Example Project
Not specific to projects, but server-wide admin broadcast messages.
What is the current bug behavior?
When using light mode, any server broadcast messages have dark gray text on medium/dark color background, making the text very difficult to read.
What is the expected correct behavior?
When using any mode, all server broadcast messages have light gray/white text on medium/dark color background, making the text easy to read.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
Screenshots:
In gitlab.rb, I have gitlab_default_theme set to 4 (blue), though the user-specified theme in the first screenshot is green.

Possible fixes
Only workaround I know is to use the light gray banner as it has much better contrast with dark foreground colors:
I couldn't find this issue reported by anyone else, and 15.7 was almost a week ago, so I suspect there may be something environment-specific causing this.
