<![endif]-->
what is used for outlook App ?
Yes Outlook doesn't support all CSS, If you want to add gradient in background so design a image and call it as background-image. Hope this will help you

Introductory information
I wrote the MJML code for the email and then converted it to HTML. As a result, everything works as it should but the background color is not displayed if the following conditions are true:
email client is Gmail
mobile version is used
dark theme is active
the OS is iOS
Examples
The background color is set for the mj-wrapper tag and the mj-section tags:
<mj-wrapper background-color="#27273F" background-url="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Xn1xfvaC97HohG_eE-IktLq8fkAGghV8" background-size="cover">
<mj-section padding-left="32px" padding-right="32px" background-color="#27273F" />
This is what it looks like on a desktop (correctly):
Here's what it looks like in the mobile version of Gmail on android (the same for the gmail mobile iOS version using light theme) (correctly):
And this is what it looks like in the mobile version of Gmail on iOS if you use a dark theme (the bg-color (#27273F) is not displayed):
Question
Could you please help me figure out what's causing the issue and how to fix it?

Thank you!
Gmail iOS dark mode conducts a full inversion of your colours without thinking about it. Thus, even a darkly coloured email will get changed to light colours in 'dark mode', as you have experienced!
Furthermore, Gmail iOS provides no controls such as #media (prefers-color-scheme).
I noticed the image didn't get inverted. Maybe it could look nice to have the banner as an image, fading into transparency at the bottom (saved as png24). Then on light mode, it fades into the dark colour, but on dark mode, it fades into light.
A more technical option that may or may not work could be (untested) to have a 1x1 pixel background image the colour you want, and then use this hack to keep the text white: https://www.hteumeuleu.com/2021/fixing-gmail-dark-mode-css-blend-modes/.
Is there any WORKING example of an email that will show a background image?
Even "bulletproof" VML solutions won't really work, ex:

How make background image on newsletter in outlook?
Tried, VML, img tags, background images on different tags, svg, nothing seems to really work for Outlook Desktop.
For the record, background images will work anywhere but Outloook Desktop client (gmail, outlook web/mobile, etc).
Thanks.
The background-image CSS property is not supported by the Word editor in Outlook. You can read more about supported and unsupported HTML elements, attributes, and cascading style sheets properties in the Word HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook article.
Word renders HTML images in Outlook, and it does not support background images for the body HTML element. Try to create a table that takes the whole client area and specify a background image for that table.
I am designing HTML email template which look fine on majority devices, iOS's and browsers except Outlook Office 365 on Windows 10 Dark Mode.
The problem is that my background image doesn't appear, instead background colour becomes dark. I have a logo on my background and since it's dar too - I can't see it.
This is how it looks on Outlook Office 365 on Windows 10 Dark Mode:
I would like to display my background image, but if it's impossible - either to change the background colour to light (which is against the Dark Mode rules, I guess), or display white version of the logo (the different image). But the changes should only be made on Outlook Office 365 on Windows 10 Dark Mode
How can I solve this issue?
Try something other than .svg. For example.png.
Outlook Windows doesn't have the controls we need to do that. The best you can do is to edit the image by adding a white stroke to it, or white shadow. This will not show on light mode (assuming your normal background is white--if not, use your normal background colour).
e.g. this white shadow will not show on light mode:

I am having an issue in the rendering of my custom coded HTML Email template in Dark Mode. The email and all the colors work perfectly fine except this one top header. I'm unable to figure out why the green color becomes darker when viewing the email in Dark Mode.
Please see the attached image for what it looks like in Dark Mode:
Instead, it should render the green color like:
Can anyone please help me fixing this green header issue.
Thanks!
As of today, we cannot influence the colors or behavior with Outlook or Gmail clients that support Dark Mode through HTML or CSS. Gmail replaces color values in the <style> sheet and Outlook will inline Dark Mode color values and adds an !important to them and makes it impossible to override.
On Apple / IOS clients, you can use:
<meta name="supported-color-schemes" content="light">
Until Gmail and Outlook offer a solution, you're stuck with Gmail creating obverse colors and Outlook changing everything to a fairly standard group of colors (mostly #333333).
Good luck.
Without seeing your code, it's hard to know exactly what the issue is.
As others have mentioned, if the image is transparent and you're relying on a background color, that would be a cause for this change. Some ESPs (email service providers) invert background and text colors — bright colors, like that green, become darker. Some ESPs also make darker colors brighter in dark mode. Some ESPs allow you to set specific dark mode background and text colors using a media query, but not all support that.
Litmus has a great dark mode guide that breaks down how dark mode works in different ESPs and how to best optimize your emails.
Your best bet would be to make that green section an image just like the second one.
use
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg)
to invert the color of the web-page and where u don't want to invert the color type
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg)
again to invent the color as it was before
I am trying to build an email template. However I have a background image that is not showing up in the Outlook Web i.e. in the webmail. :( :(
I can not seem to figure out how to get that working for webmail. Does anyone know how to?
Thanks in advance
background-image is not supported in outlook.com or outlook 2007/10/13.

I suggest using something like Bulletproof background images that provide a fallback color. Otherwise, if you have to have a background image, you will need to slice the text with background images and use img tags.
After lots of googling and hours wasted, realized that OWA does not support background image in normal mode. But when opened in full view, the image shows up. Beats me !
