Bug Description
After upgrading my Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 system to Ubuntu 17.10 the notification message window colour is unreadable.
It is black text on very dark grey background. See attached screenshot.
To make sure that it does not come from my settings, I created a new user account with empty home directory and logged in using that user account. The issue still remains.
I am not sure if the notification messages are produced by the gnome-shell package.

Any news?
Also suffering from this issue. Although I haven't spent too much time (yet) poking around with settings, changing the theme didn't seem to make any improvements on the notifications colors.

Same issue here. Is there any workaround?
This bug appears only with "GNOME Classic" session.
How to repeat:
1. Install Ubuntu 17.10 extensions
2. apt install gnome-shell-
3. reboot
4. login choosing "GNOME Classic" session
5. open terminal
6. do "notify-send foobar"
7. unreadable notification box appears
Thus, I was able to get rid of this problem by choosing "GNOME on Xorg" session.
