핵심 개념
Dark themes offer benefits but require a thoughtful approach to design to avoid negative impacts on user experience.
초록
Dark themes are a growing trend in app design, with platforms like macOS, Android, and iOS adopting them. While they reduce eyestrain and improve readability in low light, creating a successful dark theme involves careful consideration of color choices and contrast ratios. By following specific design principles such as darkening distant surfaces, revisiting perceptual contrast, reducing large blocks of bright color, avoiding pure black or white, and deepening colors, designers can create delightful dark themes that enhance user experience.
