I'm having an issue with my SVG graphics. They look fine in light mode, but in dark mode, the black parts turn white. I noticed this in both Firefox and Chrome. I tried adding the style `color-scheme: dark;` to the document's root, which seemed to fix it somewhat, but I still don't fully understand why it's happening. I've also experimented with different solutions like using `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)`, `light-dark()`, and `currentColor`, but none of them worked. Here's a simplified version of the SVG I've been using:
```svg
```
Is there any way to ensure that the colors remain as intended in dark mode? It's really confusing since the Inspector indicates that the color is black, but it shows up as white on the screen. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like what you're experiencing is related to how browsers handle SVG rendering in dark mode. One quick fix could be to specify your fill colors with hex values instead of relying on default browser behavior. Try using explicit values in your CSS like so:
```css
fill: #000; // for black
```
That way, the browser will render it correctly. Also, make sure to check the global styles for your SVG to ensure there's nothing else interfering.
Have you tried setting a fallback color for your SVG elements when using `currentColor`? Sometimes `currentColor` doesn’t behave well in all contexts, especially in dark light settings. You can define a default color in your SVG styles and then specify the colors for dark mode specifically in your media query. This might give you the desired result!
Yeah, I’ll give that a shot! I appreciate the help.
