For some reason, there is this color in my email background: `#052e3d`

I don’t know where it is coming from. How do I change it?

`email accent bg color` is `#222b45` which is not working.

I’m also seeing this. I believe the digest used the value from the default tertiary or quaternary color variable. But now it’s just default blue? Or does it use another variable now? However I couldn’t find it.

The dark mode style seems hardcoded here and I think it can’t be override. Maybe with plugin it’s possible but I’m not sure:

Can it be changed with admin-settings- `email accent bg color` ?

Yeah the light mode colors have settings but the dark mode colors are hardcoded in the iframe.

Just a little update… I was wrong… it can be override in

`/admin/customize/email_style/html` and  
`/admin/customize/email_style/css`

OMG I totally forgot about the email style templates! Thanks for the reminder 🙂 👏
