Light, dark or both, and when a theme selector is worth it. Use when defining a base palette or deciding on dark mode support.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Color Mode and Theme

## The Decision: Light, Dark, or Both

Color mode is a brand and context decision, not a personal preference. Make it deliberately.

### Light (white design)
**Tone:** Open, trustworthy, content-forward, accessible, professional  
**Fits:** Marketing sites, e-commerce, editorial, SaaS with mixed audiences, consumer products, B2B tools where the content is the focus

Light mode is the safer default for most products. It performs better in bright environments and has broader accessibility coverage out of the box.

### Dark (dark design)
**Tone:** Premium, focused, immersive, technical, high-contrast data  
**Fits:** Trading platforms, developer tools, creative tools (video/audio editors), data dashboards with dense visualisations, entertainment, gaming

Dark mode reduces eye strain during extended use in low-light environments. It also makes colourful data visualisations (charts, heatmaps) pop more clearly against a dark surface.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/color-mode-and-theme@sha256:04cb6c409f0f594b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.1dd9d8f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
