Description

### Expected
Notes in All Notes display should display at the same brightness level.

### Observed
Random Notes in All Notes display shown in low brightness (Android App). As days pass, more and more notes become faint (see attached screenshot). This only happens in dark mode. The notes themselves display properly. This problem can be fixed by switching from dark mode to light mode and back again, but the fix is only temporary. This bug happens on my Lenovo Tab P11 Pro tablet running Android 11, and I will test it on my Pixel 2XL phone, also running Android 11.

### Reproduced
Spontaneous. Started recently.

### Where did you see the bug
Simplenote app version: 2.36 (182) running in Dark Mode
