My 2021 version of DW is not displaying the default code colors. I have tried all the interface fixes with no luck. Please see screen shot of the issue.

One thing you could check is your operating system's color mode. If you're using Dark Mode, try disabling it as a test.

You have to go to Settings > Fonts and select a whole new font set and then Apply.

That forces DW to refresh the code view. Works greate now!! 🙂

Save untitled document to your local site folder as TEST.html.

Close & restart Dreamweaver.

Can you see the code after...

Toggling between Design & Live with Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F11.
Clicking on multiColumnTemplate.css tab.
Choosing another Code Color theme from Preferences > Interface.
