My design looks broken when I use certain email apps in dark mode
Some mail clients try to automatically adapt newsletters for dark mode by inverting colors. This can cause the dark text to appear white, even if the background is also white, making it appear as though parts of your message are missing.
This can currently happen in Gmail and Outlook mobile apps.
We have filed bug reports with the app makers that do this and have requested a better way of coordinating when they auto-switch between light & dark mode.
One possible solution in terms of your design is to find a color combination that will remain readable in all situations: For example, instead of black text color, a dark gray with 25% brightness.
In dark mode, email apps display this as a readable shade of gray.
