Light Dark
Web/CSS
Most modern operating systems let us control the preferred color theme. Luckily for us web developers, you can simply adjust the look of our sites by using the light-dark()
function.
This function allows you to define two colors for a property, in which your browser automatically show the appropriate value based on your preferences.
To enable support for the light-dark()
color function, the color-scheme
must have a value of light dark
, usually set on the :root
pseudo-class.
:root {
color-scheme: light dark;
}
body {
--color-base: light-dark(hsl(32deg 57% 95%), hsl(249deg 22% 12%));
--color-surface: light-dark(hsl(35deg 100% 98%), hsl(247deg 23% 15%));
--color-overlay: light-dark(hsl(33deg 43% 91%), hsl(248deg 25% 18%));
}
