Might be because we're not using a Codex token for that color. Reverting https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage/+/988152 might fix this, but would cause T351460#9392444 again.

Note, as part of T365084 night theme has been disabled on this page in production. We do not disable night theme on test Wikipedia or beta cluster, to support preparing it. Let us know when the page is ready for the night theme and we can change the configuration.

@Novem_Linguae we are aiming to deploy dark mode to all wikis on 16th July. Do you need any help working out what to do for this ticket?

I believe we are at a bit of a technical impasse with this one, the color that we need is a darker shade of grey (the exact color that we need is darken( @background-color-interactive-subtle, 1% )). However, that is currently impossible since the less variables are all CSS variables and not exact colors. Any guidance on this would be great.

Why is that exact color needed? Are there social or technical reasons it cannot be changed to @background-color-interactive-subtle? It wasn't clear to me from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage/+/988152/ ("I could barely distinguish the old color from white.")

I think you could achieve the same end result by mixing opacity with @background-color-interactive-subtle?

Alternatively, if you feel strongly about using the hardcoded value you can just add the following CSS to limit the use of the token to dark mode:

html.skin-theme-clientpref-night {
    .mwe-vue-pt-article-row-even {
        background: @background-color-interactive-subtle;
    }
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  html.skin-theme-clientpref-os {
    .mwe-vue-pt-article-row-even {
        background: @background-color-interactive-subtle;
    }
  }
}

If you are able to post a patch for this by end of day Monday, I can personally make sure it will go into the initial dark mode release!
