Dark mode is a light-on-dark colour scheme that is slowly making its way into our daily technology. It’s basically like a text document with black text against the white background of the digital page. In dark mode, the text becomes white and the page becomes dark. One thing is for sure. This new addition to most technologies is rapidly growing in popularity and has a huge number of internet users crowing in jubilation!

The benefits of dark mode, acolytes say, are twofold. First, the device uses less light and so consumes less battery or electricity. And, even more crucially, dark mode cuts the amount of light flooding into your peepers, reducing eye strain and perhaps making it easier for you to get to sleep.
Regarding the latter claim, scientific evidence leaves a lot of questions unresolved. According to Silas Brown, a partially-sighted computer scientist from the University of Cambridge, looking at dark backgrounds does reduce video glare and eye fatigue. Yet there is contrasting evidence that if you are reading large amounts of text, black on a white background is easier on the eye.
If you haven’t made the switch to dark mode yet on your phones and laptops, it may be worth looking into! Read about the entire study here!
