Advanced Fog of War on grey maps

I encountered an issue with my players last night wherein they entered a (dark) temple that is, by and large, grey-colored.   They moved around the entry area and were quick to point out that something was wrong with dynamic lighting.  They weren't quite right. The issue is that AFoW on maps with grey floors means is that players can no longer see what is illuminated by bright light or dim light, or is, in fact, AFoW.  The problem was remedied after the session by turning off AFoW completely, but for now it is virtually incompatible with maps largely made up of a grey background. Although by default it is fine most of the time, It would be sensational if we were able to change the color of AFoW in the page settings as you can select a color that contrasts with whatever environment your players are in. If you would like to observe this in action I would happily provide the game/page. 
Hello Callum F., I am sorry to hear that you have encountered this issue with AFoW.  To rule out potential issues and provide necessary information to the devs, any of your players who experienced this issue will need to  carefully work through the following steps of our guide to   Solving Technical Issues : Step 1: Make sure to use the right browser Please check if these issues persist when using both Chrome  and  Firefox. Step 2: Ensure that there are no extensions/addons interfering with Roll20 Please disable  all  add-ons/extensions. Step 3: Clear your cache If none of the above succeeds, please have them thoroughly work through all of  Step 4 . They will need to be sure to include  all  of the requested information, including the name of the campaign and the Console Log. If possible, please also provide us screenshots of the issue. Thank you!

Just as a heads up, Roll20 is testing a change to the intensity of the cleared fog of war portion on the Dev server accessible to Pro subscribers. You can see the differences between bright light, dim light, and cleared fog of war on this map. In the following picture, I made one orange light south of the character emit bright light. All of the other light sources are dim light.
Woohoo! The July 11 patch fixed this issue and makes Dynamic Lighting considerably more usable in conjunction with AFoW! It looks fantastic - please pass my thanks on to the hardworking devs for their most coincidental timing of this deployment!
Hello Callum,  Just to verify, can you confirm that your issue is fully resolved?
