Latex document background looks grey
I recently updated my macbook to the 'Mojave' OS and activated dark mode, and while I generally appreciate the reduced brightness it appears to have caused my latex document backgrounds to become grey instead of white as seen below:

The photo actually has a sample google page on the right side, but it matches the tex background perfectly; the spacing was to avoid the 'shading' effect between pages.
I didn't change my preamble at all, this simply happened when I updated to mojave and selected dark mode. Does anyone know of a fix?

I'm afraid this is off-topic here. If you look at a low-brightness screen, it is normal that you see papers, for example, a bit greyer. Try print your document or open the PDF on another device.

@JouleV Even with my brightness set to maximum the issue persists, and this did not happen prior to the update -- I'll upload a pic with brightness at max. Where would this post be on topic if not here?
