Semantic text colors in SwiftUI adapt to dark mode by using system tokens like label and secondaryLabel instead of hard-coded black or white. This ensures your text maintains proper contrast and readability across both light and dark UI themes automatically.

UIKit text becomes unreadable in dark mode when hard-coded black or white values are used instead of semantic colors. You need to apply dynamic system label colors that automatically adapt their appearance to the current interface theme.

Handling wide color and HDR text contexts in AppKit requires selecting appropriate system text colors that support dynamic color adaptation. Using semantic label tokens ensures your text appearance correctly adjusts across different display gamuts and accessibility contexts.

UIKit, AppKit, and SwiftUI each implement semantic colors differently, but the underlying concepts of dynamic type adaptation and dark mode compatibility are shared. You must apply the correct platform-specific semantic tokens to ensure accessibility across all three frameworks.

You should avoid hard-coded black or white UI text whenever your app supports dark mode, dynamic type, or wide color gamuts. Using semantic label colors ensures your interface remains accessible and readable across all system appearance contexts.
