Dark Mode Maxis (of which I am one)
When to use light mode or dark mode? Well, are you reading for comprehension or scanning?
When reading paragraphs for a long time, white text on black causes greater stress on your eyes.
• White stimulates all three types of color visual receptors in the human eye in nearly equal amounts.
• White reflects all wavelengths of light. Words in paragraph text are compact & close together, and the reflected light from white text scatters into neighboring words and letters, this makes shapes of words and letters harder to perceive, affecting readability.
• Black text absorbs the light around each word and letter making them easier to distinguish, reducing eye strain when reading for a long time.
