email highlight color too pale

Question

I am using Version 16.106 (26020821) of Outlook for Mac in the Office Home and Business 2024 package. Recent changes within the app have made selecting an email to read or delete very challenging. When you click on an email, or multiple emails for deletion, the color that's used for highlighting is much too pale. It's like a very light blue on a white screen background. Is it possible adjust the highlight color?

Not sure about "Recent changes". This has been an ongoing complaint for both Legacy and New Outlook for Mac.
