Hi Bill,
Either find and install any dark GTK theme or use LO's manual color scheme selector.

There's plenty more search results.

even simpler one: tools > options > libreoffice > accessibility uncheck "automatically detect high-contrast mode of operating system"
after that, LO will actually use the colours you chose... and even your icon set (when that option is checked it will revert to high-contrast no matter what.)"
Thanks, I will give these a try. We'll see what happens.
