Description
Our users (and even some staff) ask about and seem to prefer the option for Dark Mode on our site. With a few media queries, looks like we could change an email's design if a user has a dark mode preference turned on in their device.
@media (prefers-dark-interface)
@media (-ms-high-contrast)
I don't know if we'd want to design two versions of every email, but perhaps we could dim the light gray background and white email frame in dark mode?
