Is blacking out/redacting every other task on the list default behavior?

This might be a terminal background color issue. Can you include a screenshot of running task colors? For reference, here's my task colors result running taskwarrior in WSL through conemu on windows with a solarized-dark color scheme:

@Trial-In-Error
I ran the $task and $task color commands and got the following:

I did not set any custom colors for my terminal.

Hm. This page might have some answers for you. I expect you're using the default dark-256 color scheme; given that your terminal background is white, you might have better luck with light-256 or solarized-light-256.

Also, task colors legend will show you the current color settings for each type of thing (your color.alternate setting is the one that's "bad"), if you just wanted to override that one color.

Additionally, my monitor is currently set to way too high of a contrast, and I noticed that your blacked out lines do have different text and background colors (they're just really similar).

You are using a 256 color theme in a 15 color terminal. Choosing another theme, such as dark-16.theme will fix this issue 🙂
