Sounds like a simple draw_set_color() issue. Make sure whenever colours are changed, that you either "reset" them to white, or change them again when necessary.

If you're using lighting, make sure you turn it off when you draw your text boxes. I find it helpful to have a 3d controller with a depth of 100, and a 2d controller with the depth of -100. In the 2d controller, have this in the draw event:

d3d_set_hidden(0)
d3d_set_lighting(0)
d3d_set_fog(0, 0, 0 ,0)
d3d_set_projection_orth(0,0, view_wview[0], view_hview[0])

Now set the depth of all the objects that need to be draw 2d, to -101 or lower.
