The Kindle macOS and iOS reading apps include a "Color Mode" that lets the user select from among "White," "Black," and "Sepia."

When making an ebook, if I have a

Code:

<p>

tag and add CSS such as

Code:

background-color: hsl(240, 100%, 87.5%);

, the paragraph will show up on a purple background as expected in "White" mode. However, in "Black" and "Sepia" mode, all such background colors are ignored.

Is there a way to force the background color to apply regardless of the Color Mode, or does the Color Mode override the CSS of the book?

I was hoping to be able to specify a font color and background color for certain

Code:

<p>

tags.
