How do I change it to white with black alphanumerics like the older version?
The contrast with the black/gray sucks.. MacBook Pro btw.
Thanks in advance ..

5. My menu bar is pink

Are you talking about the menu bar that starts with the Apple Logo? I have a mostly pink desktop background and consequently my menu bar background is pink with black letters.

8. Dark mode

Dark mode makes my menu bar kind of black with grayish lettering.

9. I've seen what you describe only on certain websites.

When I leave that site it goes back to normal.

10. It's a "theme" color, set by the site you are visiting

It's new to Safari ...

https://css-tricks.com/safari-15-new-ui-theme-colors-and-a-css-tricks-cameo/

But old in Android, so many sites are setting it already:

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2014/11/Support-for-theme-color-in-Chrome-39-for-Android

To change it you'd probably have to use a custom CSS that overrides "theme-color". I'd guess
that Safari will add a preference setting to do this in some future update.
