Dark Mode Design

Dark mode design is the creation of interfaces with dark backgrounds (charcoal, near-black) and light text (off-white, light gray). Beyond simple color inversion, true dark mode requires redesigned shadows, adjusted transparency, rebalanced accent colors, and careful contrast management to meet accessibility standards. Example: GitHub dark mode (GitHub-dark theme), Twitter dark mode, Apple iOS dark mode. Each handles text, shadows, and accents differently from light mode.
