I want to add a black favicon with a transparent background.
This is simple enough.
However, on the Chrome browser for mobile phones, there is a feature called theme colour:
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2014/11/Support-for-theme-color-in-Chrome-39-for-Android
This means I can change the colour of the window frame.
In this case, instead of a black favicon, I want a white favicon with a black theme colour.
Is this possible?

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:
See https://www.litmus.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-dark-mode-for-email-marketers/#design for more information about all this.
I used to work in DarkMode, and I have a darkmode chrome extension to invert all pages' background color into dark.
However, whenever I open a new tab in Chrome, there is always a 10ms moment that the page is white, it creates a flash that hurts my eyes.
It is possible to config the default background color for new tab in Chrome? I'd like to set it into black (#000000)
The only success I have had with changing the default background in Chrome is through extensions.
I would try a different dark mode or use a theme.
I use a theme and I only get the theme background, never see a white background.
I have a logo with a blue background, I've picked the colour via Chrome inspector (matches Firefox colour picker as well), yet on mobile the logo stands out on the background.
What's going on/how can I prevent this?
Why you see another color on another display?
That logo has at least 5 colors in the background. That's the reason you can not match it.
Your monitor and mobile displays are not accurate, and it seems your contrast and brightness of the screen are not correct. In the professional photography and video editing, they call it color blind.
That's the reason professional designers do not use consumer monitors.
If you are a designer you need to have color accurate monitor and you need to calibrate it.
If you want to keep working on the current monitor at least change your monitor brightness, contrast and color settings, close to the natural settings.
What is the software solution?
Get the logo in SVG, PSD or PNG file from the designer. SVG files are better because they are vector files that you can open it with free software like Inkscape. Change whatever you like and export it to the PNG.
If your logo is a text like what you have here, Search font by image and recreate it with Inkscape. The logo you mentioned here seems to be two fonts. Clinica Pro and Sixta. and both of them are not free font.
You can remove the background using Gimp, Layer > Color to Transparency > Color to Alpha, and select background color.

Anyway, I did remove the background from that logo for you (Transparent Background):
On this page, the <body> element has a background color of #77BFBC. The image (rv-banner.jpg) set as the background of the <header> element also has a background color of #77BFBC.
On windows (either FF or IE), the two colors blend perfectly. However on FF on the Mac, there is a noticeable difference between the background color of the image and that of the <body> element. How can I fix this?
Thanks,

With the release of Firefox 3.5, colour-correction was turned on by default, but its effect depends on your system profile:
http://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/06/color-correction/
In practice, this means images saved with colour profiles are corrected and could show up mismatched to CSS colours.
It's possible to turn off colour-correction in Firefox, which fixes the problem for you, but that still leaves all the other potential visitors out there. Seems like removing the colour profile from the image is the way to go. There is a GIMP plugin that does this, see here for a discussion.
When images are displayed, they are converted from their color space to the color space of the screen.
To make your JPEG images display with the same color conversion as the rest of the elements, you should convert the images to the sRGB color space before saving them.
Browsers that doesn't support color profile information in images always uses the sRGB color space, so if you use sRGB for the images the color profile gets correct even for those browsers.
If there is no color profile in an image file, the sRGB color space is assumed. This means that you can save your images without a color profile to minimise the file size.
Try to save image as png not jpg. And if you are using photoshop, then choose "save for web and devices" not "save as".
This isn't due to your code but color profiles, I don't know if you can change this.
I have a website where the background has a light gradient (light gray from top to white on the bottom). When I place an image with a transparent background on the website, the background of the image picks the top color of the gradient. So instead of the image's background appearing to be a gradient as well and blending in with the site, the image's background color is just light gray.
I'm not sure if this is the way it's suppose to be (due to the way transparency works on websites). But I was wondering if anyone could provide a workaround
First of all welcome to StackOverflow :)
It depends. First of all, your website will be rendered differently on different browsers, and that's of vital importance to you, because unless you test it on different browsers, you can't be sure what some users will see.
If you've seen a partially transparent PNG that instead of transparency shows a grey background, chances are you're using Internet Explorer 6, a very old browser that you really shouldn't use. It's the one with the blue E, that E stands for Evil. Run.
On a more serious note, having a link to check would help, or a screenshot, because it's hard to tell just by guessing. PNGs should render fine against any background.
