Emojis in NSStatusItem title are dark tinted when using Light Mode on Catalina

Question

When I try to use emojis in NSStatusItem title on macOS Catalina and below they get some kind of dark tint. But in Dark Mode it seems to look as expected in newer versions.

Also when NSMenu selected it look as expected:

Here is how I create it:

var sItem: NSStatusItem = NSStatusItem()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    sItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
    self.sItem.button!.title = " " + outsideTemp + "°C    " + roomTemp + "°C"
}

func setupMenu() {
    // Initialize the menu items
    let menu = NSMenu()
        
    menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Open in browser", action: #selector(AppDelegate.openInBrowser(_:)), keyEquivalent: "o"))
        
    menu.addItem(notifyEnabler)
    menu.addItem(NSMenuItem.separator())
    menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Quit tempApplet", action: #selector(NSApplication.terminate(_:)), keyEquivalent: "q"))
        
    sItem.menu = menu
}
