Is dark background better for reading?
Dark mode makes text more legible
In terms of readability, ensuring a higher contrast between text and background is more important than colour scheme, according to Cox.
Why design dark mode?
While it's often said that dark mode can reduce eye strain, there is no evidence that this is true. Under certain circumstances, it's also supposed to save battery life. Still, more often than not, dark themes are an aesthetic choice. Dark UI designs use shades of gray similar to analogous color palettes.
What color is dark mode?
Simply put, dark mode is a predominately dark color palette. Darker colors are used for the background, large elements, cards and other accents, with lighter colored text elements. However, it is not as simple as a black background and white text. Although in a truly minimal design scheme, it probably could be.
