Consistency across different modes reinforces brand identity and provides a cohesive user experience.

  6. Challenges and Considerations 1. Design Complexity Implementing dark mode adds complexity to the design process, requiring additional resources for development and testing. It’s essential to plan accordingly to ensure a seamless integration. 2. Content Adaptation Some images or graphics may not display optimally in dark mode.
