Why It's Different

Not all dark modes are built the same.

There are a few common approaches to dark mode. Only one of them looks at your actual site.

ApproachHow it worksWhat you getResult
CSS Filter on Entire Page
One filter applied to the whole page at once — brightness, contrast, and sepia adjusted globally.Already-dark elements go even darker. Already-light text can disappear. No element awareness at all.Broken look
Preset Color Schemes
A fixed dark palette — dark background, light text — is applied to the whole site regardless of your design.Your brand colors vanish. The site looks like a generic dark theme, not your site in dark mode.Off-brand
Manual Color Picker
You manually pick a dark color for every element — background, text, links, buttons — one by one.Hours of work per site. Breaks whenever you update your theme or add new content.Not scalable
Darklup Dynamic Color Mode
Reads every element's actual color, checks its brightness, then decides independently whether to darken or lighten it.Your navigation, hero, product cards, images, and footer each get the right treatment. Looks designed, not filtered.Looks right
