icloud.com dark mode on - cant read emails

I use dark mode on my mac, iphone, and ipad - but as of just today icloud.com (accessing on my windows PC) appears to be using dark mode as well but I have been unable to figure out how to turn off dark mode just for icloud.com - With it on I cannot read emails as it is showing black text on a black background.

Please advise!

How to get rid of black background on icloud EMAILS! The directions we found for changing > icloud email < background from black to white do NOT work on my PC laptop. There is no "format" or "viewing" tab, and when I locate the "customize" tab, it only allows me to change the icloud.com main page background color (several color options). II'm looking for the email message bkgd... I can't read my emails!

I'm also not seeing how to change from a black to white background on icloud EMAILS on my iPhone 11.

Please help :)

Thank you. I found that (using Edge) I also had to turn off the switch "Only apply page colours when high contrast themes are on".


My Firefox for Windows also has the same issue in dark mode. To fix it, I did the following: (1) open settings (hamburger menu); (2) scroll down to Language and Appearance > Colors; (3) click Manage Colors; (4) if “Use system colors” is checked, drop-down the list and change from “Only with High Contrast themes” to “Always”; (5) click OK and close the Settings tab.


How ridiculous that there's no easily accessible setting on the Apple pages!
