In the case of macOS, Emacs does not use the system settings. Dark mode
only darkens the menu bar and tool bar, but the buffer is still black
text over white background. Some faces, like "region" *do* respect the
macOS color setting, though.

Most recent macOS applications usually offer three options for the
default color theme, just in case someone wants to override the system
setting for a particular application:

- Light
- Dark
- Auto (just use the system setting)
