Get Android Chrome to Stop Using Black Background / White Text

Can't get Google Chrome in Android to use white background on black text.

Actually PREFER it but...for testing purposes need to get it to go back.

Have pretty much tried everything I could find online.  Even diable HAckervision extension I use on my PC thinking MAYBE , somehow, it was influencing it?

Still, no change.

And!  Amazingly in Google Play...after having TRIED all the online suggestions I could find, Google Play now does display in the standard white background / black text.  Since, surely this is being run off of the Chrome kernel it's REALLY difficult to understand how Chrome itself remains stubbornly black background with white text.  Play itself had formerly been black bkg with white text.

install a white theme or reset to default (search settings for theme)
Yep - already set to light.  Still the same.
Turn on Dark theme
On your Android device, open Google Chrome Chrome.
At the top right, tap More Moreand then Settings and then Themes.
Choose the theme you'd like to use:
System Default if you want to use Chrome in Dark theme when Battery Saver mode is turned on or your mobile device is set to Dark theme in device settings.
Dark if you want to use Chrome in Dark theme.
Light if you want to use Chrome in Light theme.

So, you are using Light theme? Are you using Battery Saver mode?

Hi Jackie,

YOU WROTE:
SO, YOU ARE USING LIGHT THEME?
Yes.

ARE YOU USING BATTERY SAVER MODE?
No.

My wild guess is that the Android OS version of your phone is Android 10.

So, you need to change the following settings to disable Dark Mode in Chrome app.

  • Settings > Display and turn off the toggle next to Dark theme.
  • Settings > Battery > Battery Saver and turn it off.

Hi Jackie,

Ah, yep.  Both are set that way.  Still no change.

Sincerely,

What is the brand and model of your phone?

Are you using Beta version of Chrome app?

Galaxy A7 (2018)
Version 81.0.4044.138
Disabled and re-enabled...still all black.
