🎉 Great news folks, the good people at Gmail have finally fixed the forced dark mode issue. In both the iOS and Android apps 🎉 They now support setting the color-scheme meta tag prevent the forced dark colors being used <​meta name="color-scheme" content="light only" /> #EmailGeeks

That's great, however it does mean that your prefers-color-scheme: dark media queries will no longer render in some clients that normally support them such as AppleMail. To get those working again you need to reset the color-scheme with CSS :root{ color-scheme:light dark; }

thanks for sharing, that will make my work a little less frustrating when coming to dark mode.
