Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.208
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1191.0

Any other software?
This happens on Oh My Posh (Powershell) or Oh-My-Zsh (WSL) with some themes (for example, powerlevel9k)

Steps to reproduce

  • Install Oh My Posh or Oh My Zsh.
  • Set the theme to powerleve9k (Zsh) or Paradox (Powershell)
  • Set useAcrylic to true.
  • Set the antialiasingMode to cleartype.

Expected behavior

The color on the theme is rendered correctly.

Actual behavior

If the Arcylic option is turned on, it will make some colors (in this case, the arrow in the right part of the text) to change color. In this case, it will turn the blue arrow glyph to a light blue. If acrylic is turned off or the window is minimized (or switching to another window) it will revert to the correct color.
