Ugly background color on news.ycombinator.com

See original GitHub issue

With the dynamic theme, the main table of news.ycombinator.com has a kind of ugly green background. I tried to fix it with this CSS:

CSS
#hnmain {
    background-color: #181a1b !important;
}

…but then it doesn’t change along with the background of the rest of the page when changing brightness, contrast, sepia, or grayscale. Please let me know how to fix this.

Dynamic mode with no brightness, contrast, sepia or grayscale adjustments.

As far as I can tell, the original page does not have yellow backgrounds. The background of the main table is #f6f6ef, which is definitely a shade of gray. When I turn Dark Reader on, this seems to change into #272716 , which to me seems like a dark/‘army’ green. Note: When viewing the colors, switch off Dark Reader, otherwise you see both colors as #272716 😄

For reference, this is what the page looks like for me when switching on Dark Reader:

Ok, I understand that your opinion is different. In that case, can you help me with a ‘fix’ that I can apply locally using the dev tools? As far as I’m concerned, the fix then doesn’t necessarily have to be merged into the project.

Use stylus for that, I don’t recommend darkreaders dev tools to do this.
