I'm a light schemer

Read Original

The article presents a developer's personal argument for preferring light color schemes over dark modes. The author lists three key reasons: research suggesting better readability of dark text on light backgrounds, consistency with the predominantly light-themed UIs of most websites and applications, and debunking the myth that light themes inherently hurt eyes, suggesting proper lighting and screen brightness are more important.
