Firefox color lets you easily customise those colours: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-color...

This is great. Thank you so much for making me aware of this extension. It took two minutes to go through every color and remove the blue taint.

For me, plain black looks very cheap: it shows me that my monitor's "black" actually is grey (hardware dependent of course). By opting for color, the off-blackness is intentional and thus forgivable.

Very hardware dependent. On a lot of modern OLEDs black pixels can be entirely unlit (versus even just the slightest dark gray shade away from black needs to be lit). A lot of the people usually asking for dark modes that use true black like how those pixels look when unlit (on OLEDs). Depending on lighting conditions, things in true black really do disappear from the screen, and it directly cuts down on the overall amount of light emitted from the screen.

And it saves a ton of battery life!
