It's not just the brightness but also contrast.
So, imagine my delight to find the Dark Mode plugin for WordPress which adds a dark mode option to the admin theme.
My head is incredibly grateful.

@colinwalker Thanks for posting this. Fortunately I don't have migraines, but I still prefer to run dark mode everywhere so I immediately installed this plugin on my site.
@chrispederick I just thought there had to be a way so did a quick search and stumbled across it. It doesn't play so nicely with some other plugins but, on the whole, it's pretty good.
@colinwalker wow, thanks for posting this. I personally just prefer darker screens; I am always amazed at how bright people set their phones, I have to squint when I look at their screens.
