Dark mode & accessibility myth

Let’s talk about dark mode and accessibility! There’s a myth that dark mode is good for accessibility, because it improves text readability (among other things). As always, when it comes to accessibility, it’s not black or white (haha, color pun intended). We can’t really generalize, so, the answer is often, “it depends”, dark mode can make it better for some users, but not all of them. And, if you are going to offer a dark theme, I’ve selected resources on how to make it more accessible at the end of this article.
