Light/Dark modes at their extremes are both annoying. White on black or black on white are both to extreme. The best solution IMO are mid-level colors. I personally prefer the schemes with darker grey backgrounds and lighter grey (or other lighter color) foreground, but the opposite isn't bad either. What are bad is that the default light modes are generally much to light. A random site I have open right now has a background color of #f2f2f2 w/ text color of #151515, it is only tolerable to read if I have my monitor red-shifted to around 4200 degrees (in a well lit room w/ lots of natural light).
