I think everyone at this point has heard of the debate around whether it is the light or the dark theme that’s better. Dark theme users swear by it, and shun anyone who dares to use light theme, while light theme users believe that dark theme users are literal vampires. To this day, these camps fiercely hate each other, and I’ve yet to mention the numerous people who use and switch between both themes.

But designers worldwide have put a tremendous amount of effort into making both camps happy. Android, iOS, Windows have all put in light and dark themes in the past few years. Websites now have the capability to detect which theme is used by the OS, and a lot of popular sites can even dynamically switch between the themes. OSes can also dynamically switch between the themes, depending on conditions such as the position of the sun.

I say enough of this! Let’s make a theme that will make everyone happy!

Introducing: the gray theme

By creating a color that is the perfect balance between the dark and light colors, we can eliminate the need for themeing.

No more dynamic color switching.

No more suffering of designers.

No more light and dark theme.

No more arguing between light and dark theme.

Just a perfect, gray world.

P.S. I apologize if some of the letters look weird, for some reason this change in theme causes some letters to become bold.
