Designing with Dark Palettes
Dark color schemes have become a standard in modern UI design. They reduce eye strain in low-light conditions, save battery on OLED screens, and provide a sleek, professional appearance.
Tips for Dark Mode Design
- Avoid Pure Black (#000000): Use dark grays (e.g., #121212) for better depth and elevation.
- Ensure Contrast: Text should meet WCAG AA standards for accessibility.
- Desaturate Colors: Pure colors can vibrate uncomfortably on dark backgrounds; slightly desaturate them.
- Use Elevation: Lighter surfaces should represent higher elevation in the UI hierarchy.
