The chat summary email notification uses a [hard coded](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/672f7523a1c84cca6933024848ef5547c407e180/plugins/chat/app/views/user_notifications/chat_summary.html.erb#L17) `#0a0a0a` color, regardless of the color scheme. There are more places where this happens but in this case the background color of the header is not hard coded as well, but taken from the color scheme.

So now, when the color scheme’s header background is dark, this produces black on black text.
