“Before starting work on Night Mode, we had to fix the way that we handled colors in our application. We needed to update our system of colors to be more unified across the site, removing ad-hoc colors, providing access to the colors in every product surface, and setting up the website to support multiple color themes,” said Reddit via a blog post.
It added: “This effort touched more than 5000 lines of code and allowed us to remove a net 1500 lines of no longer necessary code! This will also make changing colors going forward a lot easier since we only have to update them in one place.”
