First, thanks for adding dark mode testing.  
Per Hallie’s note announcing that feature, I’m going to add a new request for the ability to create light and dark mode versions of emails. I know not all email clients support the prefers-color-scheme media query, but if we could at least leverage it for image replacement for the clients that do, it would be an improvement. If we could add by-mode styling, that would be even better.

Hi @SEllisDaon,

These requests submitted to the HubSpot Ideas section of the community are reviewed by the HubSpot product team, based on their popularity and the assumed demand. I’d recommend commenting and upvoting.

Thanks Karsten.  
Yes. My request was in response to the solution in the main request ([https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Functionality-support-for-branding-in-Dark-Mode/idi-p/301382](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Functionality-support-for-branding-in-Dark-Mode/idi-p/301382)) that specifically said “As a note, some comments mentioned an ability to _create a ‘version’ of an email_ for both Dark and Light modes, so if that is still something you’d like to see implemented, I would encourage you to post a new feature request for that specific ability.”  
I also agree that the other requests are generally asking for the same thing, but they don’t include the **prefers-color-scheme media query** information.
