I've updated to Indesign 17.0 and I've noticed my font colour doesnt match the colour of other elements/objects color. 

 

Please see screen recording below.

 

 

Any idea whats up?

If I set the InDesign assigned profile to match the placed image’s profile the color appearances match:

I’m checking in CC2020, but the background frame’s CMYK fill is 14|94|84|4, but the text fill is 24|90|90|20.
