I have a really hard time coming up with dark mode colors. Nothing looks right.

@manton I’ve had a similar issue, it’s really tricky especially if you have a light mode that works well.

@birming it's just a bummer they don't use it for Gmail, Calendar, and other websites they have :-( I have to spend hours every day on their Work suite and it drives me crazy they didn't add dark mode to it.

@numericcitizen I have. ChatGPT is pretty good, but of course it has no design taste, so takes a lot of back and forth to try to get somewhere. May try again.

@philbowell Exactly.

@manton While not a complete answer, this was enough to get me started.

@manton one thing that’s worked for me in the past is taking the accent colour from light mode and using it as an underlying influence on the main dark colour then riffing the other colours from there.

@manton Maybe you could try to “forget” how the light mode looks and just focus on making the dark mode look amazing ✨. Only then you try to carefully bring them together again…?

@matthiasott Great point. I think that's the right approach.

@manton Good luck! 🤞And enjoy! 😊

@manton I refer to these two handy resources - nightpalette.com and colorhunt.co/palettes/dark. The latter, just in general, to find colours that work best together.
