Explorer title bar text color too bright grey

I'm using colored title bars. Blue for the active window en light grey for the inactive windows.

To obtain the inactive light grey color, I had to add to the registry the AccentColorInactive 32 bit DWORD value hex b8b4b0 (BGR) (RGB decimal 176, 180, 184).

This colour is fine for all windows except for the File Explorer.

The File Explorer has a title bar with characters in the color hex 999999 (RGB, decimal 153, 153, 153).

All the other windows have a title bar with characters in the color of about hex 6c6c6c (RGB decimal 108, 108, 108).

So, only the File Explorer title bar has too bright characters with almost no contrast to the light grey background.

Can Microsoft solve this issue?

This problem was found after the update to Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607) (OS Build 14393.222).
