Ui DarkNeutral

Modal Overlay is a dark and neutral 2-colour linear gradient that runs from near-black (#0F172A) to charcoal (#1E293B) at 135°. It suits dark-mode interfaces and footers and subtle surfaces and app backgrounds. White text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 16.3:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AAA).
