Do you have the site setting `default dark mode color scheme id` set? If your operating system is set to dark mode, you might be getting automatically switched to a dark color palette.

You can also check your personal preferences at `community.example.com/my/preferences/interface`… if you have a different color scheme set here, if might be overriding the site setting.
