I had no idea that dark themes were hard to read for people. I have "color blindness" and for me it is a panacea, I should have known it must be anathema to another cohort.

I have partial color blindness and glaucoma which I think aren't related to my inability to read dark themes. When I try to read white or light text on a dark background, something in my eyes start flashing and I develop a headache in less than 60 seconds, it's been like that my whole life.
it depends on the quality of your monitor and your lighting environment, many of which people can't control very much.
