It’s caused by OSG using a shader to render text now, but this bypasses the built-in emissive/diffuse/ambient material properties, which is what our <text> animation uses to set colours of text. 

It should happen ‘everywhere’ that a shader is used to render text - Canvas doesn’t care about it since it sets the text color directly.

Kind regards,
