I'm not sure if I'm missing a setting, but in the layers studio panel I have a hard time seeing because it is "grey text on a grey background". I've turned on the high contrast setting in interface and it seems to effect every panel except for layers. Didn't have this problem in V1.

What am I missing?

BTW - V2.1 is fantastic and I appreciate all Serif's work and those who help out on these forums!

Your text (your layer description) is black, the gray is only the description/explanation of the layer type, which anyway disappears after entering your name/description. This is duplicate information about the layer icon and its hint/tooltip.

Loss of contrast is unfortunately a "trend" in Affinity applications.

it seems to be only the layers pallet that this effects. It wouldn't be too bad on a regular screen, but when you have many layers on a 4k screen, it's not always easy.

You seem to be in the Light mode for the UI:

Perhaps the Dark mode would work better for you?

Or perhaps the Dark mode with High Contrast enabled:

that does do better, but I really can't handle dark mode very long. I don't mind for photos but design is just too dark and gives a feeling of tunnel vision.

yes, you're right, I have the exact same issue.
