Neat tidbit that I learned while working on dark mode at my company. Don't use true black. It looks amazing on OLED screens at rest but it results in a weird sluggish appearance when scrolling. This is because there is a lag time between pixels going from off to on.
The material team at Google made a blog post about it which I recommend going through: https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html
The quote around the OLED: "On OLED screens, turning pixels on and off can cause a delay when the screen is scrolled, making the pixels blur."
As an example, the facebook messenger app uses a true black background and the delay is _very_ noticeable.
