System Dark sets the weight of the palette in introspection and intuition, and True Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single black that stops the set reading as one note. System Dark and UI Dark are close enough in hue and lightness that most people will read them as one colour, which makes them a pair to separate rather than two choices to spend. Link Blue is the loudest thing in the set and it is still cool, so every accent the palette offers recedes rather than advances.
True Black reads as pure authority: sophistication, power, and the visual weight that makes everything placed near it feel more serious.
