All you can do is adjust the 'weight' (boldness) of the numbers or turn it off in System Settings > Wallpaper > Clock Appearance button.



Reportedly, macOS 26.1 (due out very soon) offers options to alter the Liquid Glass UI, so I'd say wait for that to drop and see what happens. If no change, to have Apple consider your feedback, submit it here:
