Dark mode design

Dark Mode Strategy & Palette Rationale

• Background (Reduced Strain): I utilized a deep, near-black primary background #0B0515 . and dark gray surfaces. This low-luminance base minimizes the light emitted directly into the user’s eyes, fulfilling the core goal of reducing visual fatigue.
• Aesthetic & Accent Color: A vibrant Purple/Magenta #AB84E1 was chosen as the accent color. This color is highly engaging, associated with innovation and premium digital experiences, and provides a strong, modern visual identity.
• Text & Data Clarity: sub Text uses high-contrast Off-White #E2E2E2 This choice avoids using pure white #FFFFFF, which can cause a "blooming" effect or harsh glare against a dark background, further aiding reading comfort and hierarchy

Accessibility and Scannability

• WCAG Compliance: The high contrast ratio achieved between the deep background and the bright text/accents ensures that the design meets or exceeds WCAG AA standards for text legibility, making the interface accessible to all users.
• Visual Hierarchy: The Dark Mode enhances scannability:
  • Isolation: Key information and metrics (like the "Words Left" count) are isolated and highlighted.
  • Focus: The dark environment directs the user's focus solely onto the content cards and interactive elements, simplifying the information flow and reducing cognitive load.

In conclusion, this Dark Mode design successfully translates the dashboard's complex information into a high-contrast, aesthetically cohesive, and comfortable experience optimized for prolonged use.
