@alphaec004 found it. With the Translucent background on, the keyboard picked the key and Enter colors by how dark your background color was, not by whether the app is in light or dark mode. The default background is dark, so it always landed on the dark mode colors. Fixed, it'll be in the next App Store update. If you have the Colour background instead of Translucent, tell me, because that would be a different bug.

Yes the key background issue is fixed but there's another issue now. The keyboard shows the period key in certain fields in light mode. And in certain fields the enter key loses its custom colour.

@alphaec004 the Enter key went grey in two cases: in an empty search field, and in regular fields when "Native return key" is on. With a custom theme it now keeps your colour everywhere, this will be in 2.1.3, the next App Store update. The period key in browser address and search bars is there on purpose, for typing web addresses, even if you've turned it off elsewhere.
