If that does not work, see this thread:

The
Use font smoothing when available option was already checked and I looked at that right after installation. It makes no difference whether I have it checked or unchecked, both ways look identical. My MBP 15” Has a Retina LCD though. The text on my High Sierra Mac Mini is way better, especially when bold, but I have a non-retina Dell display attached to it. The bold on Mojave is too thin. I’ll look at the link to see if that helps.

The other thing that is lacking is that third party apps won’t pay attention to the Appearance preference now (until now, it did not exist). And as you mention, web pages need to be thought about. I don’t think there is even any way for web page to discover which mode is enabled. Over time, it should get better, and learnings can be applied to iOS if and when Apple decides to add Dark mode to that.

I’m going to stick with Light Mode. I use my MBP to post process lots of photos, so no way I would tamper with the color calibration.
