This is what it boils down to for most people. Using a less-than-pure white or a cream colour like HN makes for a much more pleasant read. At night it's often still too bright for me, but I'm happy to switch modes according to how I feel at the time.
- climb_stealth 4y agoI find it works to run something like f.lux at all times. Whenever I have to turn it off for whatever reason it comes as a shock how bright everything is. I can't imagine working with that all day. Basically, make light mode pleasant by using f.lux. Then there are no unpleasant transitions whenever something doesn't play along with dark mode.
- TheCapeGreek 4y agoFor me even with blue light blockers it's still too bright if my room is dark at night. When I turn it off (e.g. when the red intensity is very high for color quality in games) and switch to a light web page it's blinding.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoWonder if that's correlated with warm/cold light preference. I hate cream colors, they make me dizzy and sleepy. I stick as close to pure white as I can - if I have to dim it, I dim the screen, or apply a light gray (possibly biased towards blue) background.
