color-scheme

The color-scheme CSS property allows an element to indicate which color schemes it can comfortably be rendered in.

Common choices for operating system color schemes are "light" and "dark", or "day mode" and "night mode". When a user selects one of these color schemes, the operating system makes adjustments to the user interface. This includes form controls, scrollbars, and the used values of CSS system colors.

Syntax

color-scheme: normal; color-scheme: light; color-scheme: dark; color-scheme: light dark;  /* Global values */ color-scheme: inherit; color-scheme: initial; color-scheme: revert; color-scheme: unset; 

The color-scheme property's value must be one of the following keywords.

Values

normal

dark

Indicates that the element can be rendered using the operating system dark color scheme.

Random CSS Property

border-end-end-radius

The border-end-end-radius CSS property defines a logical border radius on an element, which maps to a physical border radius that depends on the element's writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation. This is useful when building styles to work regardless of the text orientation and writing mode.
