Then you must hate typical dark themes.

There are two kinds of dark themes: low-contrast, washed-out dark themes that use various shades of greys, and high-contrast, white-on-black dark themes that are good for people with poor eyesight or poor quality hardware, and for use in an actually dark environment.

Naturally there are things in between the two, but by and large there’s a pretty clear division between the two and which is provided, and the latter are pretty rare.

I actually do, especially on my OLED laptop screen and phone. The backgrounds are often these dark but not black grays that just lower the contrast of the content for no reason. Chrome and Firefox have these reader modes that don't give a true black background, it's just so wasteful.

I still prefer those themes to black-on-light but I do not love them.
