Material dark theme

https://www.appsponsor.it/home

I've entriely restyled my website, trashed bootstrap and now I'm using materializecss. I decided to go with a dark theme along with cards. At a first sight, do you like it?

    Dark cards on dark background, even with the shadow, are not well visible. Try to use more shades of grey in your colour palette

      okay, thanks for the tip!

        You're welcome. I love dark theme and faced similar challenges when designing https://cashcoach.io

          Love the theme you have. The cartoons are great too it's an entertaining way to illustrate the value of your product.

          If you want, share your app on my website! I've seen it and it would satisfy my platform requirements! And it seems quite interesting too

            Good idea, done :)

              How much traffic do you have?

              1. 1

                40-50 per day plus other users on android. It's quite new (:

    Hiiii I hope you're doing okay!

    I like the brown mode :D I love it!! Try though:

    • A lighter brown for the cards
    • Round 10px the corners
    • Remove shadow

      I'd try your suggestion but it'd be too hacky since I m using materializecss
      thank you anyway! :D

    Good idea !

    I would have used a slightly clearer black, like a dark grey but still with contrast.

    1. 1

      nice one pal! I'll what's the best solution, thank you :)
      EDIT: I'd have changed shadow color as @Sam_insurgent suggested, but it'd be too hacky, so I went for background.
      Check here for results: https://www.appsponsor.it/appboard/android
      Tell me if you have better color ( cards use the classic #212121 )

        Hey ! I liked that a lot. I do have better colors, actually, built this colorsandfonts.com for that purpose.

        1. 1

          Oh my, love it. Already added to bookmarks.
          IMHO it deserves a space in my platform, if you'd like to, send a request :)

          1. 2

            Thank you so much ! I can do it tonight, definitely.

        Maybe if you invert tue colors, ot will look cleaner.

        Nav as it is, background same color as nav and cards with the brightest grey

        1. 1

          Let me try this. You rock man!
          EDIT: the result is that cards seem more elevated, if think I'mma keep it in this way!, Thank you again :)

            what do you mean?
            How are you going to leave it?
