Try looking at the footnotes on K4PC or a tablet with a colour screen.

I knew nothing about the calibre editor when you made this suggestion, but after some reading in the online help at
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/edi...css-properties, I now know next to nothing.
By messing about till something kind of worked, I managed to change the color of the footnote text, and the resulting text on my Kindle Oasis was marginally darker, but is still rather dim. What's annoying is that when the screen refreshes, I get a nice, dark text for a few seconds, before it reverts to the dim text.
What I did was change "<span text="blue"> to <span "style=black"> - because just changing "blue" to "black" did nothing.
So what a footnote looks like in the Text part of the calibre editor is:
<p class="footnote" id="fn11"><span style="black"><a href="part0010.html#rfn11">11</a>. The two episodes with which Grant closes this chapter on his youth—his inexpert horse trade and the beatings he received from the schoolteacher—suggest a certain vulnerability as well as a source of his aversion to bullying and humiliating others.</span></p>

Do you have any idea whether there's an edit I can make to this that might solve my problem? Or am I looking in the wrong place?
