> I wonder if there is any way that colours change whether one is using a light or dark theme. Is the light and dark setting inherent to emacs, or inherent to the theme? For instance the default can still check if the theme uses a light or dark background. Better still, the annotation colours could be set up for light and dark background irrespective of the particular instance of modus-themes. Meaning that the colours are set for any theme one could be using.

Have tried using  (frame--current-backround-mode nil)  but this gives

Symbol's function definition is void: frame--current-backround-mode

I am using Emacs 27.1
