- Dark theme text: #ffffff / #f0f0f0
- Maintain brand colors for accents with adjusted opacity
- Ensure WCAG AA compliance (4.5:1 contrast ratio minimum)

**User Experience**:
- Smooth transitions between themes (0.3s ease-in-out)
- Persistent theme preference across sessions
- Clear visual indication of current theme state
- No flash of unstyled content during theme switching

**Image Handling**:
- Apply CSS filter: brightness(0.9) for dark mode images
- Use background overlays for hero sections
- Maintain image aspect ratios and quality
- Consider loading separate optimized images for dark mode

## 7. Technical Considerations

**Theme Implementation**:
- Use CSS-in-JS solution or CSS custom properties
- Implement theme provider at app root level
- Use Next.js theme detection to prevent hydration mismatch
- Consider using next-themes library for robust implementation

**Testing Architecture**:

## 9. Open Questions

1. **Image Strategy**: Should we pre-generate dark mode optimized images or apply filters dynamically? Consider CDN bandwidth and processing costs.

2. **Testing Scope**: Should we include visual regression testing for dark mode, or is unit/integration testing sufficient for initial release?

3. **Theme Customization**: Do we need to support additional themes beyond light/dark, or should we focus on these two options initially?

4. **Legacy Browser Support**: What is our minimum browser support requirement for CSS custom properties and prefers-color-scheme?

5. **Marketing Integration**: How should we communicate the new dark mode feature to existing customers? Newsletter, banner, social media?

6. **Analytics Tracking**: What specific events should we track for dark mode usage to measure success beyond the defined metrics?

7. **Maintenance Strategy**: How often should we review and update test coverage? Who is responsible for maintaining test quality standards?
