Redesigning your product and website for dark mode ↦
Andy Clarke on the Stuff & Nonsense blog:
Implementing dark mode is easy, but designing for it is less so. Here are some things you should consider when designing a dark mode version of your product or website to ensure you maintain accessibility and readability, and a consistent feel for your brand between Light and Dark.
It’s all the rage to “dark mode all the things” right now, but Andy’s practical advice on the topic is great. Finding the right palette and the consequential typography decisions needed, are good to keep in mind.
