LightDarkAutoColorRules
is an option for Style that specifies how to map fixed colors from light to dark mode.
Details
- When LightDarkAutoColorRules is applied to a construct containing colors, any explicit color col in the construct that satisfies one or more of the rules will be displayed as if LightDarkSwitched[col] had instead been used.
- Settings of LightDarkAutoColorRules have no effect for notebooks rendered in light mode.
- With the default setting LightDarkAutoColorRules<>, colors are not remapped in dark mode unless an explicit mapping is provided using LightDarkSwitched.
- The following keys can be given:
-
"AllColors" if True, maps all colors "ListedColors" map all color expressions in the given list "NonPlotColors" whether to map all colors not generally used in visualizations - LightDarkAutoColorRulesAll is equivalent to setting "AllColors"True.
- LightDarkAutoColorRules has no effect on colors that are already wrapped in LightDarkSwitched.
- Inherited color rules can be explicitly disabled by setting LightDarkAutoColorRules{}.

An expression may use colors that were picked for light-mode viewing:
Such colors may display poorly in dark mode:
Wrap the expression with a LightDarkAutoColorRules setting to automatically change all colors:
Scope (1)
Start with a typical visualization example with many colors:
"AllColors" affects every color:
"NonPlotColors" affects all colors except for default colors produced by functions like Plot:
"ListedColors" only affects the colors provided in the list:
Properties & Relations (3)
LightDarkAutoColorRules changes how colors are displayed:
The underlying color expressions remain unchanged, however:
LightDarkAutoColorRules does not affect LightDarkSwitched colors:
Like any other option, LightDarkAutoColorRules can be used in BaseStyle and other style options:
