Sigh. In #iOS26 and #iPadOS26 26.4, the entire album UI in Music takes the colours from the cover art. Damn it, Apple, I want my user interface to look consistent, and I use light mode for a reason!

Turning on Increase Contrast accessibility option fixes that, but there’s still a blurred stripe of the background colour behind the playback controls bar. Also turning on Reduce Transparency replaces that with a solid bar. But both of these options bring other issues with them. We need a setting telling the apps to always obey the system light/dark theme and never override the colours. But of course there are still some exceptions even to that…
