Edit June/22: If you want force dark colors to any website, you can browse chrome://flags/ and enable the flag: Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents (color inversion based)

This is a Chrome DevTools feature request that is tracked in crbug.com/977243 (star the bug or CC: yourself to be notified of progress). Meanwhile, it's already available in Safari's Web Inspector, see the heading Debugging Dark Mode in Apple's blog post.

As an alternative, if you want to automate the whole process, I have written a Puppeteer script that takes screenshots in dark and light mode, which can also be integrated in your CI testing.
