Let's create a ColorScheme component under our with a placeholder and a tag of span. To avoid the flash, we have to guard any rendering path which depends on $colorMode with $colorMode.unknown to render a placeholder or use our component. This is due to the fact that we cannot know the user preferences when pre-rendering the page since they are detected on client-side. If you are doing SSR ( nuxt start or nuxt generate) and if $colorMode.preference is set to 'system', using $colorMode in your Vue template will lead to a flash.

Choose colors that adapt automatically to the underlying interface style. If you are prepared to support Dark mode, you can ask Windows.
