bullets inside table remain dark with both light/dark background

[eudoxos]

Describe the bug

context
I put bulleted list inside list-table (same behavior for numbered list).

.. list-table::

   * - what color are the bullets?

       - item 1
       - item 2
       - item 3

expectation
Bullets and numbers follow the text color.

bug
Bullets in itemized list (and number in enumeration) stay dark when switching to dark mode:

problem
This is a problem for readability and visual consistency.

The offending lines seem to be in _tables.scss:

.table {
  /* ... */
   // Target th & td
  // We need the child combinator to prevent styles leaking to nested tables which doesn't have a `.table` class.
  // We use the universal selectors here to simplify the selector (else we would need 6 different selectors).
  // Another advantage is that this generates less code and makes the selector less specific making it easier to override.
  // stylelint-disable-next-line selector-max-universal
  > :not(caption) > * > * {
    padding: $table-cell-padding-y $table-cell-padding-x;
    // Following the precept of cascades: https://codepen.io/miriamsuzanne/full/vYNgodb
    color: var(--#{$prefix}table-color-state, var(--#{$prefix}table-color-type, var(--#{$prefix}table-color)));
    background-color: var(--#{$prefix}table-bg);
    border-bottom-width: $table-border-width;
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px var(--#{$prefix}table-bg-state, var(--#{$prefix}table-bg-type, var(--#{$prefix}table-accent-bg)));
  }
