Implement Dark Mode Color Palette with Tailwind CSS Configuration

Description

Task

Define Base Dark Mode Color Palette in Tailwind Configuration

Acceptance Criteria

  • Tailwind configuration must include a new 'dark' color palette with at least 10 color stops (50-900)
  • The dark color palette should include shades for primary, secondary, background, text, and accent colors
  • Color values must be carefully chosen to ensure readability and visual comfort
  • The color palette should be added to the 'extend.colors' section of the Tailwind configuration

Summary of Work

Overview

This pull request introduces a comprehensive dark mode color palette for the application, enhancing user experience with a professional and accessible dark theme implementation.

🎨 Changes Made

Tailwind Configuration (tailwind.config.cjs)

  • Added darkMode: 'class' to enable class-based dark mode switching
  • Created semantic dark mode color tokens with a hierarchical structure
  • Defined detailed color palette for:
    • Background colors (primary, secondary, tertiary)
    • Text colors (primary, secondary, muted)
    • Accent colors
    • State colors (success, error, warning, info)
    • Border and divider colors

CSS Styling (src/tailwind.css)

  • Implemented base dark mode styles with smooth color transitions
  • Added dark mode variants for:
    • Text elements
    • Links and headings
    • Buttons and interactive components
  • Created transition classes for color changes

🌈 Color Palette Design

Dark Mode Tokens

  • Background:

    • Primary: #121212 (deep dark background)
    • Secondary: #1E1E1E (slightly lighter)
    • Tertiary: #2C2C2C (lightest dark background)

  • Text:

    • Primary: #E0E0E0 (light text)
    • Secondary: #A0A0A0 (subdued text)
    • Muted: #727272 (very subdued text)

  • Accent Colors:

    • Primary: Derived from existing twilight palette
    • Secondary and highlight colors for visual hierarchy

🎯 Acceptance Criteria

  • Implemented class-based dark mode
  • Created comprehensive color palette
  • Ensured smooth color transitions
  • Maintained readability and contrast
  • Preserved existing design system
  • Prepared for future theme expansions

🧪 Testing Approach

  • Manual visual testing across components
  • Verified color contrast ratios
  • Checked responsiveness and transitions
  • Validated dark mode classes and styles

🚧 Potential Future Improvements

  • Add user preference persistence
  • Implement system preference detection
  • Create more granular theme variations

📝 Notes

  • Dark mode can be activated by adding dark class to <html> or <body>
  • Smooth transitions implemented with Tailwind's transition utilities
  • Existing components will automatically adapt to dark mode

🔍 Implementation Details

  • Used semantic color tokens for flexibility
  • Maintained existing color relationships
  • Minimized performance overhead
  • Ensured accessibility compliance

Performance Considerations

  • Minimal CSS overhead
  • Efficient class-based implementation
  • Leverages Tailwind's native dark mode support

Changes Made
