Alpappo , It looks like this is still broken as of 02 July 2023, but I found a close work-around. Not ideal, but it is very close for me. Select the "why are you gray instead of the white that I asked for" pen, and modify it so that one of the RGB values is 254 instead of 255 (254-255-255), and you'll have an "off-white" that is almost perfectly white. On my Surface Pro, I can't tell the difference. Again, not perfect, but it works for my needs.
If Microsoft wants a default white pen to be gray, fine - but I wish they would at least allow users to manually set what they actually want.
