Pixel 2XL SMS texts in Messenger App changed to pastel

My SMS messages app has started displaying messages in pastel colors instead of in bold primary colors. I also can no longer change the color assigned to a contact. I updatesd to Pie a couple of weeks ago and it was fine... It just changed today out of nowhere. Any ideas on how to change it back?
