Dark mode in 5 minutes, with inverted lightness variables

Read Original

This article explains a quick method to implement dark mode in CSS using inverted lightness variables. Instead of creating separate color variables, it shows how to override lightness values in a media query to automatically generate a dark theme from existing light colors. The technique works with HSL colors and provides a basic dark mode foundation that can be refined later.
