This is separate from the dark site themes (Dark Teal, Dark Blue) that became available for SharePoint sites in December 2025. That change affected how site visitors see pages; this change affects how admins experience the admin center itself. A small quality-of-life update for admins who prefer darker interfaces or work in low-light environments.
