Not sure if this helps but I also upgraded to Big Sur and don't see this happening (either on Stable or Insiders):

For what it's worth, the issue subsided for me when I disabled my custom font settings.

The issue appears to manifest itself with Hasklig in particular. As you can see, Verdana is not problematic (also tried Helvetica):

Although Hasklig is not a pre-installed system font, I also tried Lexend Deca, which is also custom, and presented no issues rendering color. Reinstalling Hasklig did not alleviate the issue.

Scopes inspector indicates the correct foreground color:

@adregia thanks for investigating, can also confirm that using Hasklig breaks syntax highlighting. Other custom fonts like Input Mono seem to work fine though.

@misolori I think this might be an electron/chromium issue. Could you please try the standalone editor in Chrome -- https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/ . You could just edit the font-family on the editor view-lines dom node.
