Not noticing differences in readability between light mode and dark mode is consistent with the studies!
"Interestingly, even though their performance was better in the light mode, participants in the study did not report any difference in their perception of text readability (e.g., their ability to focus on text) in light versus dark mode — which only reinforces the first rule of usability: don’t listen to users."
- _bxg1 7y agoTrue, although I also question the value of "performance" differences that are small enough to go unnoticed. Maybe it's due to filling in visual gaps by context (complete words, meaning of the sentence, etc.), but I think I would notice if the text I'm reading were regularly making it all the way up to higher mental processes with the wrong meaning.
