Troubleshooting the dark mode issue you mentioned- what browser were you using at the time? Might be a browser-specific issue since it tests normal on Firefox, Chromium, and Safari on my end, so knowing which browser lets me troubleshoot.

I'm using firefox! It's the case on noth of my PCs and my phone running firefox, even if I force-clear the cache. I'll test my extensions after work but it's just ublock origin and a password manager.
Huh! Which version of Firefox? That's the first browser I test on for both mobile and PC, so it's odd that it's not working on your end- now I'm even more curious what's going on.
Mobile is running 114.1.0 (Build #2015955411), but I doubt all my devices are on the same version. I do have a flag that sends websites dark mode requests, somehow, so I was wondering if it was a default background color being set differently by my browser or some weird CSS interaction like that.

Comfirmed that if I take my firefox out of dark mode, it makes the colors what they're supposed to be.
Thanks for all the details- to clarify, the Firefox flag is linked to the problem? That gives me something to look into if that's the case. If I can track down that flag, then I'll figure out how to make it cooperate if possible. Just to check, is it only on the sitemap/sitelog, or pages with the regular style as well?
Also, go Firefox!
That was enough information for me to replicate the problem! Manually set theme in the browser, right? I think I see it- I didn't set a variable properly for the Gummy Shark theme's dark mode, so it was reverting back to light colors where I forgot to set dark alternatives. Not sure why it didn't show up with the OS dark theme for me, but I think I fixed it- thank you for sticking with me on troubleshooting this!
Fantastic! All fixed. :) Thank you as well for playing along. And yeah, I've also got my desktops on dark mode but firefox has a separate theme that will change the defaults of some(?) pages. How do you have the CSS check for light/dark mode, by the by? Maybe I should add a light mode to my site :p
A media query! @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {}, but @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light) {} works as well. Optionally, also add :root {color-scheme: light dark;} to tell the browser I support both light and dark (but prefer light; you'd want dark first).
