About this category
The hard part of dark design is not making the background black; it is contrast. Pure white text on pure black creates halation and tires the eyes faster than a light theme. These templates use a deep grey-blue base with softened text colours, keep body contrast above the WCAG AA threshold, and reserve the accent colour for interactive elements such as buttons and links so the visual hierarchy stays intact.
Frequently asked questions
Does a dark theme hurt SEO?
No. Search engines do not judge colour schemes. As long as the text is real HTML rather than images, indexing and ranking are unaffected.
Can I switch it to light?
Yes. A light variable set is included — change the default theme at the top of the CSS or add a media query to follow the system setting.
Is the palette accessible?
Body text meets WCAG AA contrast against the background, and secondary text stays within a readable range.
