Hi, it’s a brand new installation. I’m logged in as admin, changed theme to Elemental, tried a few different color palettes to see how it looks. But when I view the site in different browsers it’s in dark mode and changing the color palette doesn’t do anything. How can I get the light color scheme back for public? Nothing I try seems to change anything.

I went searching for this setting, ‘default dark mode color scheme id’… and it was activated. I can’t recall activating it myself though. Either I suffer some memory loss or something must’ve activated it. Either way, problem solved, thank you!
