Pages v13.1 does not respond to the Systems appearance mode for its page backgrounds. This is not user configurable and would require the Pages product team to add that capability. You can send feedback directly to the Pages product team from its iOS/iPadOS Help menu, or on macOS from its application menu. If you want that functionality now, then use Word on macOS Ventura.


Yes, you can select a blank black template in Pages (iOS/iPadOS/macOS) but that is not an appearance mode and exporting to PDF will give you a black document, and to Word, a gray background with white text when opened in Word on Office Professional Plus 2021 on Windows 11 Pro. There is an intermediary slider on the iOS/iPadOS PDF export that allows you to switch off the document background, but not in macOS.
