I have surprised myself by sticking with light mode on the PC for more than an entire day.
Thoughts:
- Text does look a little crisper overall
- Things aren’t too bright, but I could probably turn my monitor’s brightness down a little
- Discord’s implementation is bad. The background for text is pure white (#FFFFFF), which is silly. You can fix it by changing the colour–by subscribing to Nitro™ for $10 a month. $120 per year to have a nice off-white is a bit much. File Explorer also uses pure white. I may see if I can change that specifically.
- In fact, more apps than I realized seem to use pure white, so I’m guessing this is the “accepted” default for Windows 11’s Light Mode. Some other application colours:
- TickTick: #FFFFFF
- Diarium: #F0F3F9 for the sidebar, #F3F3F3 for the main calendar view, #F0F0F0 for the individual entries
- Thunderbird: #FFFFFF
- Proton Mail: #F8F8F6
For funsies, here are the above-mentioned shades of white:
I’ll stick with it for a little while longer and see how it goes. I am investigating other not-as-white-whites, using this site as reference: 122 Shades of White: Color Names, Hex, RGB, CMYK codes
