As someone who is using light mode because syntax highlighting is unusable in dark mode (at least for my eyesight), it would be really good to see a shorter-term solution, rather than waiting for T285859.

Playing with Inspector in my browser right now, even just putting in a blanket rule to knock colours down 3 (so #ffc→#cca for templates, #eef→#bbc for links, #fef→#cbc for HTML tags, #eee→#bbb for bold and italics, and so on) would be a more-than-adequate stopgap.

This task is about the display of pages with syntax highlighted blocks. You are probably looking for T365311: Syntax highlighter is broken on Dark Mode.
