Redefining twenty-eight values here retints about four hundred declarations without touching a rule. Two things are not a straight inversion, and both are contrast: 1. The accents move. #00b39c is 7.4:1 on --rack and 2.65:1 on white, so the brand teal cannot be text in daylight; the same is true of --green, --amber, --red and --rose, which are all light-on-dark values. Each was darkened along its own hue until the WORST of the four grounds cleared 4.5:1, which is the rule styles.css:43 already applies to --ink-faint. Measured on the lightest ground each is: teal 5.14, green 5.13, amber 5.90, red 5.43, rose 5.13, blue 5.75, ink-faint 5.15. The brand #00b39c survives in the dark theme and on the filled plates, which take white. 2. The ink-on-a-filled-colour trio inverts outright. --on-accent and friends are the one place the dark room writes a near-black; on a light theme the plates they sit on are dark, so all three become white. ========================================================================== */ html[data-fractal-embedded='true'] #btn-theme { display: none; } html[data-theme='light'] { color-scheme: light; /* The ladder still rises, it just rises towards white: --void is the stage behind the panels and --rack-3 is the topmost plate, so a raised thing is lighter than what it sits on exactly as it is in the dark. */ --void: #f0f1ee; --rack: #f7f7f5; --rack-2: #fcfcfb; --rack-3: #ffffff; --ink: #171a19; --ink-dim: #4e5754; --ink-faint: #646e6b; --green: #287a56; --blue: #2f6e7e; --amber: #8a5a18; --red: #c0392f; --teal: #007a6a; --rose: #9a5870; --plum: #6e4a9e; --slate: #4a5a6b; /* White on every one of these clears 4.5:1: teal 5.26, green 5.24, amber 5.90, red 5.43. */ --on-accent: #ffffff; --on-warn: #ffffff; --on-alarm: #ffffff; /* Hover deepens rather than brightens: on a light ground the lit state is the darker one, which is the opposite of what --teal-hot does above. */ --teal-hot: #00695b; --surface-panel: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.96); --surface-bar: rgba(250, 250, 248, 0.92); --surface-float: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.98); --surface-inset: rgba(244, 245, 242, 0.94); --surface-chip: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.72); /* The same five-step ladder, on the daylight teal. */ --accent-wash: rgba(0, 122, 106, 0.07); --accent-tint: rgba(0, 122, 106, 0.12); --accent-glow: rgba(0, 122, 106, 0.18); --accent-line: rgba(0, 122, 106, 0.38); --accent-line-hot: rgba(0, 122, 106, 0.62); /* Lines and washes invert from white-over-black to ink-over-white, at the alphas the design system uses for a hairline rather than the dark room's, which are tuned to survive a black ground and read as pencil on white. */ --rule: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.1); --edge: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.18); --edge-hot: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.45); --edge-control: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.32); --wash-1: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.025); --wash-2: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.055); /* A field is the one thing that goes lighter than its surround in daylight, the way it goes darker in the dark: a well is recessed either way. */ --field-bg: #ffffff; --well-bg: rgba(23, 26, 25, 0.04); /* A black drop on a white ground is a smudge.
