Color Contrast too Dark Inactive Parts Midi Editor in Cubase 15

I found it much easier to understand what parts I was editing in Cubase 14 than the new color system in Cubase 15. Hopefully, this can be added back or a preference option to adjust the contrast?

I use different shades of a color for individual instruments of a section, so lighter pink would be high strings, to darker pink would be low strings etc. Cubase 15 now just makes everything so dark, compared to how it originally was in Cubase 14 and previous.

I completely agree. When displaying multiple MIDI parts, the MIDI notes in inactive parts are noticeably darker. It might be harder to notice this issue when using the dark theme instead of the light theme, but even so, a comparison shows that the previous versions of Cubase had better visibility.

Visibility is crucial when displaying multiple MIDI parts simultaneously for orchestration work. To make full use of the Multipart Editing feature introduced in Cubase 13, I would greatly appreciate it if you could improve the visibility of inactive parts or add a function that allows users to adjust their contrast.
