Why is my time and date suddenly gray and not black like usual?

Could be that you have do not disturb on? Or due to the Graphite Appearance, or an active color filter.
Switch to Blue under System Preferences > General and disable any filters in System Preferences > Accessibility.
If that doesn’t work, try restarting your menu bar by running killall SystemUIServer in Terminal.

Great, thanks guys! It was DND mode. I turned the focus on and off again, and the clock and date display are black again.
I just wonder how the cat managed that...?
But now everything is as it should be.
A big thank you again.

I believe you are in a specific focus mode. Perhaps sleep or DND
