There is a distinct visual hierarchy in software, and it maps directly onto the financial hierarchy of the users. Light mode implies standard, out-of-the-box, retail consumption. Dark mode implies focus, late nights, and institutional-grade tooling.

The Terminal Aesthetic

RP Wallet operates strictly in a premium dark mode environment. This isn't just to save battery; it's a psychological cue. It harkens back to Bloomberg Terminals and command-line interfaces. When you drop a flex, the stark black background with high-contrast, glowing numbers immediately sets a tone of seriousness.

Contrast and Conviction

A pure #000000 or deep zinc-900 background allows the brand colors—deep purples and golds—to act as subtle accents rather than overwhelming the eye. It keeps the focus entirely on the numbers. In the LARP, you want the viewer's eye to immediately snap to the 7-figure balance. Minimalist dark mode eliminates distraction and forces compliance with your narrative.
