Trigger iOS dark keyboard from HTML input
I am writing a web app (for the iPad) which has a night mode, which inverts the colours to white text on a black background for use in low light. However, the inputs trigger the standard iOS keyboard, which is glaringly bright. I already know how to trigger the numeric keyboard, but is there a way to suggest to mobile Safari to present the dark keyboard instead of the light one?

It's not possible. (You can only hope that iOS will be updated with support for dark mode in the future like they did with Mohave.)

If iOS doesn't supports dark one, then you'll have to make one yourself!

Unfortunately the appearance of the keyboard depends entirely on the user, there is no way to change the appearance of the keyboard in ios, what you can do is wait for a future update to have this addition, but for the apple system used to be very closed I think it is unlikely
Edit: you can try to make your own virtual keyboard like this one: https://gate2home.com/English-Keyboard

If you are using the input to get the user's credentials you might want to use the "password" type input field the keyboard triggered in that case would be dark one.
<input type="password" />
