Research direction

The issue names no Folium files or tests. Start by reviewing Folium's existing plugin-wrapping entry points and the linked Leaflet.TileLayer.ColorFilter demo; done means Folium exposes a dark mode that applies the plugin's tile CSS filters to a map.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

plugin

Creating a dark mode feature for Folium seems necessary. One way to implement this feature is to wrap Leaflet.TileLayer.ColorFilter plugin, which applies CSS filters on map tiles.

A nice demo is provided here:
https://xtk93x.github.io/Leaflet.TileLayer.ColorFilter.updateFilter/

I would be grateful if someone could take the time and wrap this lightweight plugin for Folium. Please let me know if there is any other workaround for creating dark mode (rather than using original tiles with dark theme).
