How to add it

How to add this form to your site.

To add a Dark Mode Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.

Define color tokens

Set --bg, --ink, --line, --accent in :root. These are your light-mode values.

Override for dark mode

Inside @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark), redefine the same tokens with dark-friendly values. Every color in your form references the tokens, so the whole thing flips.

(Optional) Add a manual toggle

If you want a manual override, add a `data-theme` attribute on `<html>` and additional CSS selectors. Most sites don't need this — system preference is enough.

What's included

What's included.

OS-level dark mode is the standard in 2026 — every modern browser supports prefers-color-scheme and most visitors have a preference set. A contact form that respects that preference looks polished without any JavaScript or theme-toggle UI. The trick is using CSS custom properties for color tokens and a single @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) override. Native OS dark mode, no JS, no theme library.

  • Basic contact form — 4 ready-made fields
  • HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
  • One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and spam scoring, no CAPTCHA

Where submissions go

Where submissions go.

Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

View all FAQs
Will the dark version work in older browsers?

prefers-color-scheme has been supported since 2018 (Chrome 76, Firefox 67, Safari 12.1). Older browsers see the light theme — which is the safe fallback.

How do I support both system preference AND a manual toggle?

Use a `data-theme="dark"` attribute on `<html>` and write `[data-theme="dark"]` selectors. Default to system preference, override on user action. Persist the choice in localStorage.

Does Tailwind support this pattern?

Yes — Tailwind ships a `dark:` variant. Either base it on system preference (`darkMode: 'media'` in config) or on a class (`darkMode: 'class'`). Both work with splitforms.

What about accessibility for low-contrast issues?

Hit WCAG AA on both themes — at least 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text. Use a contrast checker on every color combination. Dark mode is where most accessibility bugs hide because designers test light-mode first.
