fix(ui): restrain dark-mode pills (chip wash + lower pill bg opacity)#61
Merged
Conversation
User feedback after PR #60: the "warm cream" selected chip was still a near-white block, and the emerald credits pill was still glowing at 22% saturation. Both read as bright UI alerts in an otherwise muted dark palette — wrong for the dark-mode aesthetic regardless of the hex codes under them. Selected DB chip: replace cream-on-black with an indigo wash. Background `rgba(99,102,241,0.18)`, text `#c7d2fe` (indigo-200), inset 1px indigo border via box-shadow so the affordance comes from brand color rather than brute-force luminance contrast. Still visually distinct from the unselected `#17181c` slate chips; quiet against the `#0a0a0a` page. Grade/status pill backgrounds: halve opacity (22-28% → 10-16%) across emerald / lime / amber / orange / red. Text colors mostly preserved (lime gets bumped to #a3e635 for the lower-opacity bg). Pills now read as ambient indicators with colored text floating on near-black, not as glowing chips. Same selector as before — applies to the credits pill in the navbar and the grade pill on results/account/history pages.

PR #61 dimmed the grade-pill compound rule but only matched the bg-{color}-100.text-{color}-700 combination. The anon trial banner ("50 of 50 free grades remaining this session") in index.html uses bg-emerald-50.text-emerald-700 — different class combo, slipped past the rule and continued rendering at light-mode saturation. Extend each color's compound rule to cover the -50 variant too (emerald, lime, amber, orange, red). Add emerald-50.text-emerald-900 since query_with_context.html uses that pair. Now matches the ambient-pill treatment everywhere those classes appear: trial banner, grade-A surfaces in compare_results / contextualized results, etc.

Why
User feedback on PR #60: the "warm cream" selected chip was still a near-white block (95% luminance vs ~4% page), and the emerald credits pill was still glowing at 22% saturation. Both read as bright UI alerts in an otherwise muted dark palette — wrong for the aesthetic regardless of the hex codes.
Two scoped changes
1. Selected DB chip → indigo wash
Affordance now comes from brand indigo wash + inset border, not luminance contrast. Still visually distinct from the
#17181cunselected chips.2. Grade/status pill backgrounds: halve opacity
rgba(16,185,129,0.22)rgba(16,185,129,0.10)rgba(132,204,22,0.22)rgba(132,204,22,0.10)rgba(217,119,6,0.25)rgba(217,119,6,0.12)rgba(234,88,12,0.28)rgba(234,88,12,0.14)rgba(239,68,68,0.28)rgba(239,68,68,0.14)Text colors preserved (lime bumped to
#a3e635to compensate for the dimmer bg). Pills now read as ambient indicators with colored text floating on near-OLED, not saturated chips.Verification
html.dark .dark\:bg-white(0,2,1) so the override still wins.Test plan
50/50 credits/50 of 50 free grades remaining…) reads as ambient info, not a glowing alert/account/and/history/is restrained but distinct from grade B/C/D/F
