The Light mode setting has a lighter color scheme across the Start menu, taskbar, Quick Settings, and notification center. The Dark mode has a darker set of colors and is designed to work well in a low-lit environment.
You can personalize the colors that appear in Windows and your apps by setting the mode to Dark, Light, or Custom. Windows 11 gives you the option to personalize the color and accent color of a variety of surfaces you see when you use Windows.
