Dark mode surface palette designed around the layered elevation system used by iOS, Android Material, and premium web applications. Near-black base, progressively lighter gray surfaces for elevation, with a restrained accent blue and high-legibility text tones. Built around the principle that true black backgrounds amplify saturation — all surfaces use dark gray to keep foreground colors perceptually controlled. Suitable for design system dark mode token definitions.
Layered dark mode surface palette following iOS and Material Design elevation principles. Near-black to dark-gray range for surface hierarchy, with cobalt accent. Useful for design token documentation and dark UI component design.
A systematic dark mode surface palette — near-black, dark gray, elevated surface, and accent tones for building complete dark UI color systems.
