Okay, thanks EVERYONE for the feedback and ideas! Definitely worth it to have shared this here :)
* help * Which version do you like the most? It's just out of curiosity, I know each has a very different vibe and ultimately is up to me and my personality. Problem is IDK WHICH OF MY PERSONAS TO SHOWlol Also: left pictures' blending effect is just a placeholder.

I'd say the one on the right side. Anyway I'd do a theme switching between both of them if it's possible!
I‘m with the right version here, cause I think white background + bright colors match better. I find the left colors to be to bright, kind of disconnected/mismatched with the black bg. Interesting and fun layout though, like it!
The right one bcz visually it looks better and everything is visible properly and you you can easily distinguish between the different segments.
If you choose to use the left I would check the accessibility of your grey on black text and ditch the inverse effect you have on the images. Reminds me of the x-ray filter in PhotoBooth - and you lose the connection to the content in each section
I like the light version more, as it seems to draw my eyes more towards the colors vs on the dark background. But the effect on the images on the left is something I haven’t seen anywhere before. I’d keep/incorporate this somehow, it’s kinda unique 😊
