Run the following snippet in PowerShell 5.1:

for ($i = 1; $i -le 100; $i++ ) {
    Write-Progress -Activity "Search in Progress" -Status "$i% Complete:" -PercentComplete $i
    Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250
}

Aha!

If I set it to Never, the progress text is yellow.

Edit: The setting probably also explains why my colours changed ever so slightly after upgrading from 1.17, but I couldn't put my finger on it :-)

Yep, the color adjustment in 1.18 is now stronger than before, turning it into an accessibility feature. It's also much closer now to how VS Code works, where the text is also black:
