Hi @SuShuang,

I believe a hotfix was rolled out, and we’ve reverted the change that altered the default notebook/SQL editor syntax colours. You should now see the original colouring again when using the Databricks default theme.

If things still look off on your side, a few quick checks often help:

  • Make sure you’re using the default theme (other custom themes were not changed by this issue).
  • Do a hard refresh of the page or try an incognito/private window to rule out cached UI assets.
  • If you’ve opted into any preview/Cutting Edge UI toggles, try turning those off temporarily and reloading.

If, after that you still see the new colours, please reply with:

  • Your workspace URL (region)
  • Whether you’re on light vs dark mode
  • Your theme setting (default vs custom)
  • A fresh screenshot

and we can dig in further on our side.

Thanks again for the report and patience while we fixed this.
