Safari 27.3 adds Adaptive Dark Mode for sites that don't support dark mode

webkit.org

WebKit announced Adaptive Dark Mode, which automatically darkens pages that don't ship a dark theme. Nice for users, but it raises questions for us: how does it interact with images, brand colors, and sites that intentionally stay light? Has anyone tested how their site looks with it yet, and is there a clean way to opt out?

checked our dashboard, charts look weird but text is fine. color-scheme meta seems to be the escape hatch
