If I attempt to change my theme at u/rokejulianlockhart/preferences/interface:
…there is no way to force adherence to color-scheme: light dark:
All other Discourse instances I’ve utilised do.
Hi @RokeJulianLockhart I’m not sure why… I just tried to change my theme to Dark and it worked.
There are two Light themes with different components I guess. The second one is better on mobiles I think.
@how, your Discourse theme? If so, you changed it via /preferences/interface? If so, that’s a workaround: Discourse should automatically switch between them based upon what your browser reports its theme as.
I’m certain I do not understand your issue. I have no clue how browsers handle dark/light themes, and why this Discourse would behave differently than any other.
@how, presumably, this instance runs an older version? At meta.discourse.org, I see:

I just upgraded. I think the “Dark Mode” switch belongs to the theme itself. Our current theme does not have it.
OK I found it. I had to go through Dark/light mode toggle now available in core - #24 by ozzi - Announcements - Discourse Meta and find this response in order to get what was going on.
Now the color switcher appears at the bottom of the (new) sidebar.
(But this toggle does not seem to be effective. I think this is way above my head and not worth the trouble. Please follow the above topic on Meta and report when it’s been clarified.)
