Anki card text is auto white in night mode.  
If not, the Card template settings are wrong, so you need to fix the template.

If you want to be able to sometimes use the light theme, and you know how to work with note templates and CSS, there’s a helpful Anki section on night mode here: [Styling & HTML - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/styling.html#night-mode)

Here’s a simple example:  
`.card` CSS in use for light theme:

`.card.nightMode` CSS in use for dark theme:

`.card.nightMode` is a special case. For the other stuff, you’ll have to put `.nightMode` first and a space after. For example:

```css
span {
  color: black;
}
.nightMode span {
  color: white;
}

```

Thank you very much, really. I barely solved the problem using CareUEyes.
