Dark Mode Foundation

No two colors here reach 4.5:1 for body text. Set text in white or black instead — each swatch's HEX is drawn in whichever reads better.

Dark mode requires surface layering (not just black) and carefully desaturated accent colors. This palette provides the base layer system: near-black backgrounds, dark mid-surfaces, and a single structured blue for hierarchy and interactive states.

A dark interface foundation palette that moves from near-black ink through structured dark layers to an active cobalt. Avoids true black in favor of dark blue-gray surfaces with depth.
