Pure OLED Black White

A palette for the default Obsidian interface. Dark mode uses pure black (#000000) surfaces. Light mode uses pure white (#ffffff) surfaces. No gray panel backgrounds.

Subtle blue-gray borders and shadows separate panels, menus and controls. Blue, purple and cyan distinguish titles, tabs and links. Headings, code syntax and status messages use coordinated colors. Text selection and search highlights retain visible color fills so selected content remains clear.

The theme inherits Obsidian's built-in layout, spacing, fonts and behavior. It changes color variables and adds small border and shadow rules. No plugins, scripts, remote assets, fonts, accounts or payments are needed. Third-party plugins with hardcoded styles may supply their own backgrounds.
