Hey there !
I'm posting this to warn you about the general visual hierarchy of any app using this no-brainer method.
Your components should never be darker than your background, see this tweet for any references.

While I can see some uses cases when this method is simple yet effective, it would strongly suggest anyone reading this to dive into Custom CSS properties and setting up colors scheme by hand, especially when you have a strong color identity and things can spice a little bit by naively inverting those ( accessibility and design issues ).
