I have a dark theme installed and certain radicals are a different color. Why?

[ResistantLaw]

This probably doesn’t matter that much, but I put on a dark theme a while back, and certain radicals will appear as a different color then others. It doesn’t really affect anything about using WaniKani, but I was curious to know if there was something different about these radicals? They aren’t different colors normally. (This shows up on reviews as well)

Not all radicals have a text character; some are images, and those won’t be touched by a dark theme.

[ResistantLaw]

Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. Makes sense. So I’m guessing that the radicals which aren’t a kanji on their own are the ones that are different?

[DawnTheFawn]

Some radicals on WaniKani are made up and as such aren’t part of standard unicode. For the most part these are the ones that use an image instead of text.

[bladepoint]

I’m not 100%, but I’d expect any non-kanji, and non-official radicals to stay white.

覀 isn’t a kanji for example, but it still exists somewhere in Unicode because it’s a non-wanikani radical, so there’s a character for it.

I’m a little late, but you can add the following rule to your user style and it will make the radical images dark:

.radical-image {
    filter: brightness(0.15);   
}

It should work on most modern browsers, and yeilds pretty good looking results:

The “Chinese” radical there is an image. It looks a little blurry here but I think it stands out less than being the wrong colour. And the bigger versions on other pages look fine:

EDIT: I just realized there is a Unicode character for 𦰩, I wonder why it’s an image on WK… It is though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow, thanks! I’ll have to try that out when I get a chance.
