Your preference for light and dark mode doesnt change with the ambient light?
Im always surprised by the number of people who will delcare one absolutely better than the other without consideration for this factor. Sure, people have some general preferences, but I thnk it's 90% about the ambient light.
If it's pitch black most people will prefer dark and if it's bright daylight people will prefer light.
F.lux / Redshift / Gammastep exist. On sunset, my screen becomes much darker and tinted yellowish / reddish. Then white backgrounds look fine, and I happily continue using my light color themes late into the night. Also, bias lighting on the wall behind the monitor helps my eyes avoid strain.
