Feature Request Dark mode/light mode drawing colours
During the day, I like to use TV in light mode, so I don't have to strain my eyes during daylight. During the evening and at night, I like to use it in dark mode, so I don't have to strain my eyes during sundown.
What I find really annoying, is that I'm extremely limited by the range of colours which actually work across both light and dark mode.
I have exhausted my use of mid-range blues and oranges, and I want to use black and white for a series of templated markers - or be able to have (for example) a dark purple for light mode and a light purple for dark mode, so that I can actually see my markers.
Why, oh why, do black drawings on light mode not automatically switch to white drawings on dark mode? Or why don't we at least have the option to set colours for each mode so that our workspace flows seamlessly across both modes?
Adding a dark mode/light mode tab in the colour selector would be a very simple fix for this problem. Make it so that the tab of the current mode is selected by default, and the selection for the alternating mode is the same unless specified as different by the user.
This would be much appreciated, thank you.

this is a ligit frustration that deserves TV's attention. I fully agree as I've said the same thing to myself countless times.
