Mail clients treat dark mode differently, and Proofel models each one. Use the light/dark toggle above the email, then pick a client. Apple Mail honors your authored dark-mode CSS with a gentle partial inversion; Gmail and Outlook force a full color inversion. The simulation uses CIELAB color-space math so the preview matches what those clients actually do to your colors. Images are never inverted.

A simulator is an approximation. For anything critical, always test on a real device too. The dark-mode simulator is available on Pro and above.
