Comment:

 Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

 I like dark mode (I even created my own for Trac), but I think making
 Twenty Twenty support both light and dark palettes should be left to
 plugins and/or child themes.

 Except for a recent bug within the editor (#59086), Twenty Twenty has had
 good support for setting a light text color against a dark background in
 the Customizer. Then every visitor would get the same color palette, and
 anyone creating content could check it with those colors.

 Twenty Twenty-One [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/10/22/twenty-
 twenty-one-dark-mode-discussion/#comment-40118 added a checkbox] for site
 owners to enable its dark mode. That theme required a commitment to making
 content fit the colors of both the light and dark schemes, and visitors
 can still override the sitewide choice if something does not work well in
 dark mode.

 As far as proposed colors within the palette, full white (`#fff`) text can
 be easier for many people to read against near-black (such as `#222`) than
 against full black (`#000`). Also, using `!important` could cause
 problems.
