# Dark Mode Design

Use this skill to design a dark theme that is more than an inverted light theme.
Dark mode has its own rules for depth, color, and contrast.

## Core mistakes to avoid

- **Pure black backgrounds** (`#000`). Use a dark gray (e.g. `#121212`) so shadows and
  elevation are visible and OLED smearing is reduced.
- **Pure white text** (`#FFF`) on dark. Use ~87% opacity white for body text to cut
  harsh contrast and eye strain.
- **Saturated colors** carried over from light mode. They vibrate against dark
  backgrounds - desaturate and lighten brand colors for dark surfaces.
