Use cases and benefits:
As proposed in [[Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Larger_suggestions#Yellow_mode]], there are people who wish to see warmer colors and have fewer blur night in the site's skin, to make their eyes more comfortable when reading the Wikipedia.
Likewise, as I have mentioned in T26070 , it is likely useful for astronomical purpose and other dark outdoor environment to have minimal light coming out of skin when reading wikipedia, especially with minimized stimulation to human eyes, by turning the background black, and then changing any content on the screen into red color.
Furthermore, it is also mentioned that, due to the popularity of AMOLED screen, especially on mobile digital devices, it can help save power as well as reduce battery consumption on user device, by turning the background of the website completely black, instead of just dark as T26070 proposed. Owning to the global widespread usage of Wikimedia-based website, it might help reduce global power consumption and carbon emission by slight bits too.
In addition, a high contrast mode would also be useful to people with low visibility.
Feature summary:
Hence, to complete these different needs for different color scheme for the website, it would be desired if Wikimedia skins can have this setting, both on desktop and mobile skins as well as other alternative skins.
Note:
Currently, there are some third party css files floating around that offer similar effects. However, those often goes unmaintained and cannot response to Wikimedia software design update. And the technical barrier behind that is also high. Hence first party support for different color themes with integrated easily-accessible switches in setting is desired.
