I created an email with a black background but when my phone switched to dark mode, the email background turns white and all the headings and buttons colors are slightly off. Has anyone had this problem and how do you avoid it?
Why does the color of my email background change when my phone is in dark mode?

That happens because many email apps force dark mode, which automatically inverts colors. To prevent this, use dark gray instead of pure black, apply inline background and text colors, and test emails across clients that support dark mode.
