I noticed this the other day. When I’m using the pen tool in Photoshop CS4, it sometimes takes the color of what I’m using the pen tool on, ie; if I’m working with a picture with a bright green or pink, the path is bright green or pink (see link below) The picture isn’t the worst that it does, but if I took a screenshot when it’s at it’s worst, you wouldn’t see anything. I went through all the preferences and saw nothing. I do have the OpenGL acceleration turned on. Thanks for any input!!!

That happens here too, but I agree that your contrast seems low. Here I put my own path on top of yours:

This is different from the Illustrator behavior, where each layer has its own (assignable) path color.
