Background/Name colours on author page

I don't remember noticing before, but the background colour behind the Author name when I go to an author varies, so does the colour of the characters in the Author name. Seen multiple colours today.

1. What determines what the colours are ? Some of the combinations make the Author name a little difficult to read.

2. Is there any way I can control the colours ?

I am using Modern, I'm pretty sure. If not I'll come back and edit this post.

ETA Modern Light, desktop layout

ETA 2 I just looked at the Authors I am following. About 3/4 of them have a red brick background and cream Author name. All the rest have blue background and white Author name. Earlier, looking at some Authors I do not follow, I saw at least 3 other combinations, one of which was difficult to read, white background and a pale colour for the name.

I think the authors can personalize their home page. Some even have pictures as background.

The site provides two themes for authors to choose from. The default is the red one and the other is the blue one.

However, I also provide a kit for authors to have their own stylesheet and they can customize it to their taste if they're into CSS.

There are about 5 authors who have customized their own stylesheets.

The mobile theme does not use the customized style, so it's desktop only.

I haven't implemented the custom sheets for the mobile theme since so few authors ever used the facility and it was only in the early days of the site. Nobody bothered for the last 15 years or so. I'm probably going to remove the functionality and maybe add a few more themes for authors to choose from.

If you are going to be adding themes, is a dark classic on the list? I like the dark modern color theme, but prefer the classic layout.

A dark/auto-dark classic is in the plans.

However, the site-wide theme is separate from the author pages. Author pages override the site-wide theme stylesheet.

Many thanks for the explanation.
