Dark mode isn't simply inverting colors. It requires careful adjustments to maintain readability and hierarchy.
Dark mode principles
- Reduce saturation of bright colors
- Use dark grays, not pure black
- Maintain sufficient contrast (WCAG)
- Adjust elevation with lightness, not shadows
💡 Practical Use Cases
Case 1: Adapt corporate palette
Your brand uses blue #2563EB on white background.
→ Dark background: #1E1E1E
→ Adjusted blue: #60A5FA (lighter, less saturated)
Case 2: Elevated cards
In light mode you use shadows to elevate cards.
→ In dark mode: use lighter backgrounds instead of shadows
→ Base: #121212, Card: #1E1E1E, Elevated card: #2D2D2D
Case 3: Error/success states
Error red #DC2626 is too intense in dark.
→ Reduce saturation: #F87171
