Dark Mode and Accessibility

Dark mode is more than a trendy toggle; it can reduce eye strain, extend OLED battery life, and accommodate users with certain visual impairments. But accessibility demands sufficient contrast, balanced color palettes, and thoughtful elevation cues. Implementing dark mode with CSS custom properties and the `prefers‑color‑scheme` media query keeps themes in sync with user system settings. Testing with WCAG contrast tools and considering color‑blind palettes ensures inclusivity. Ultimately, great dark modes feel native, respect branding, and never sacrifice readability for style.
