Thanks for rising this issue.

What Waveshare display are you using? And what Waveshare package and color schema you have configured in display and epaper_color values in config.cfg.

Please set display=epd_7in5b_V2 in config.cfg as currently you have epd_7in5_V2 BW display specified and let me know about results.
