I was a little worried about that myself but moreso for night modes, which for various apps seems to be implemented in fairly arbitrary ways.

On e-ink screens black and white for text and bars/rules are really the only safe colors to use. And even then you don't want to use "black" and "white" or their hex equivalents but instead use "color: inherit;" for the text color so that it will work in night mode as pointed out by phillipgessert. E.g., in my boilerplate CSS I have
a.text-color { color: inherit; } so that it's black (in day mode), not the usual blue, which comes out as gray on e-ink. There is also the builtin color currentColor. See also https://friendsofepub.github.io/eBookTricks/ |

Possibly. I had one ebook where the chapter header text and graphic colours contrasted nicely on a iPad but on my Kobo ereader, the two colours rendered as pretty much the same shade of gray which made the text close to unreadable.
Best to test before hand. |

Yup, that's me, peddling my way through life with my antediluvian shekels.

Equally puzzling to me is that the CSS I'm using from the Blitz site, with that a.text-color, it doesn't do anything. I tried changing the font-weight to bold and nothing happens. It works when I change it from a.text-color to a. And searching the web doesn't turn up anything for text-color. |
