Theming

Purpose

Build themes that remain readable and coherent when switched. Dark mode is not an inversion; a palette that works on white will not work on black without being redesigned, and inverting it produces the vibrating, exhausting interfaces that dark mode is criticized for.

When to Use

• Adding dark mode to an interface.
• Building a multi-theme or white-label system.
• Generating a palette from a brand colour.
• Fixing a theme where contrast breaks in one mode.
