Definition

Dark mode is a display setting that changes an application's or website's color scheme from light backgrounds with dark text to dark backgrounds with light text. Dark mode reduces eye strain in low-light environments, can extend battery life on OLED screens, and has become a standard user interface preference option across operating systems, apps, and websites. Many creator tools and platforms now offer dark mode as a default option.
