Text color same as surface color

[StylianosGakis]

I am not sure if there is something obvious that I am missing. But when enabling setTextColors = true my pure composables start putting dark text behind dark background, and white text on white background (making them completely invisible).
What is the mapping that is happening that would make this possible. I am guessing I am doing something wrong on my theme.xml, but so far I haven't faced such problems on my normal non-composable views.
Am I missing something in the purpose of the setTextColors itself? Any pointers would be appreciated
