Personally I prefer light mode, but when using dark theme, for example in the IDE or terminal, I always manually set white brightness to 255 (max). For example Putty and other apps, come with default theme 192 on black and that is unreadable. Double so if someone is sharing their screen. Dark mode is already harder on the eyes and harder to focus, and making it less contrast makes it even harder to read. PS: unless you are adhering to a system default, you better include options for everyone, not just one demographic. For example after recent redesign ArsTechnica has created a selection of different modes. And while some people like darker mode, I'm happily using "hyperlight" because it is easier to read for me.
