# 🌚🌝 Sun Moon Toggle

## 🦄 How it works

The CSS property `mix-blend-mode` ([browser support](https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-mixblendmode)) specifies how colors blend when graphics are stacked together. In brief, covering your site with a layer same as your background color and using `mix-blend-mode: difference` will automatically yield a black background while preserving the contrast with the foreground.

We're using `mix-blend-mode: exclusion` which is a lower contrast version of `mix-blend-mode: difference`.
