Dark Mode Nav is a dark and neutral 2-colour linear gradient that runs from near-black (#0A0A0A) to near-black (#141414) at 90°. It suits dark-mode interfaces and footers and subtle surfaces and app backgrounds. White text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 19.2:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AAA).
