Inactive editor tabs shows the file name in light grey color which is hard to read.

The issue is displayed in the image below with red borders

Where do I change the inactive text editor tab colors?

Are you using some combination of a third party theme and an old release of Eclipse? Check the "Colors and Fonts" preference page's "View and Editor Folders" options.

I did use a third party color theme but I changed to Default theme which did not fix the issue

I then uninstalled the theme but still the issue is not resolved.

Further I deleted the eclipse installation directory and reinstalled the same.

My eclipse version is

Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers (includes Incubating components)

Version: 2020-12 (4.18.0)
Build id: 20201210-1552

I believe those preferences are tied to the workspace.

I switched to a freshly created new workspace but the issue is still present.

deleted eclipse installation folder and reinstalled and then created a fresh new workspace but no luck.
