Dark Mode

Dark Mode is a user interface design concept that uses a dark color palette (typically dark backgrounds with light text) to reduce eye strain, save battery life on OLED/AMOLED screens, and improve readability in low-light environments. It is implemented across operating systems, applications, and websites as an alternative to the traditional light mode, often with system-level support for automatic switching based on time or ambient light.

Also known as: Dark Theme, Night Mode, Dark UI, Dark Scheme, Dark Appearance
