Dark Mode Inspiration

I’m dig­ging in and giv­ing the site lit­tle revamps in a few places. Better type, bet­ter respon­sive han­dling, cleanup some code. In look­ing to add a dark mode, I ran across this exam­ple by Max Böck who dialed the idea to eleven with a color theme switch­er fea­tur­ing ten options. I don’t think I’m going to do ten but three or four might be nice.

Maybe it’s time for some design stuff on this “design” blog. Here’s some sim­ple — dare I say proven — color com­bi­na­tions from Braun prod­ucts designed by leg­endary min­i­mal­ist Dieter Rams.
