Can I turn my app icons light again while keeping Dark Mode?

It seems that an update has cause dark mode to now turn the background of the app icons dark as well. I personally hate this, I would like them to be light again, and I would like to continue using dark mode for menus but it seems like there is no option because the two things are connected. Is there a way to change these settings independently?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Touch-and-hold any empty area of a Home Screen. When the icons "wobble", touch the Edit button that will be visible at the top-left corner of the screen; this will open an Action Menu...

From the menu, select Customise. Insofar as associated controls are available, you will now be able to select your preferred icon colours:

Light - All icons are shown in their default "light" colours
Dark - All icons are shown in their "dark" colours
Automatic - Home Screen icons will automatically change between Light and Dark colours at per your iPad's Display & Brightness Appearance setting
Tinted - Home Screen icon colours can be customised
