This mixture in value is required to achieve the high contrast a Dark Winter needs. And while many of the colours are very light (white and the icy pastels), there are many more dark ones. In line with this season’s primary colour aspect, the overall palette is dark. You will also not find many shades of yellow-based colours but instead more shades of blue and grey, which are naturally cool. So even if you choose yellow (which is the warmest colour of all), you will find only cooler shades that have a tint of blue. This means they contain more blue than yellow. That seems wrong and is part of why web UI feels kinda dumbed down compared to what we once had.The colours lean towards the cool end of the scale but are not extremely cool. But the React+DOM approach can't manage that because the effort required to flesh out the widgets is split between a thousand design systems. It's not meant to be an actual widget toolkit competitive with Windows 95, so the criticism above isn't "real" criticism, it's just a springboard for a bit of technical observation: it's 2023! Why does the web still not have a UI framework competitive with an OS that came out nearly 30 years ago? If you wanted to make a Win95 theme for Qt or JavaFX then it would be quite easy and you would actually be able make apps that were competitive with Win95 apps in terms of UI features. Now obviously this is just a fun hobby project. And of course you can forget about all the little features Win95 widgets had like proper keyboard support (try using the up/down arrows in the tree view, it doesn't work).
