Let’s talk about dark mode and accessibility! There’s a myth that dark mode is good for accessibility, because it improves text readability. It's not always true.

1. Dark mode doesn’t improve readability for everyone. While dark mode can improve readability for some users, it’s not true for everyone. Dark mode can also make things hard to read for a couple of people, including people with astigmatism, but also, people navigating with a mouse when the focus indicator is poorly handled, people with dyslexia, etc. (for longer debunk, check the resources section).
2. Give users choice: if you can offer both, let people decide what works for them.
