Is there a way to override Dark Mode rendering in emails? It's rendering all my white backgrounds black/grey.

Hi Robert,
I think that's all user side rendering. You need to optimize your emails to render correctly when users use dark modes.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Are you able to point me to where I can learn more on how to do this?

If you do a web search for optimizing emails for dark mode, you'll see several pages offering similar tips on what you should do to setup for dark mode. Coffeecup needs to write a quick article to support their app. to keep users on their site.

Here is the work-around I came up with. To ensure my email's background remain white in darkmode, I leverage the URL function to set background image and referenced an all white jpeg. In addition, I also made sure the background color was set white so it rendered correctly in Outlook. Lastly, I made the text a dark grey which appears doesn't get covered in darkmode.

That's similar to what I read on a few of the sites I checked out. It's all about making it look good in both modes.
