I was very happy to see Discourse ironing out dark themes by switching meta’s theme to [THE DARKNESS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/coming-soon-to-meta-new-moon-darkness-new-moon/31993).

I thought that the darkness would be automatically added to my Admin \> Customize \> Colors \> Color Schemes menu and I’d be able to just apply that theme directly to my discourse, but upon doing an update, that assumption appears to be incorrect.

[Doing some research](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-more-robust-ecosystem-for-creating-sharing-and-modifying-themes/24402), there apparently isn’t a way to share/copy themes from one discourse site (like meta) to another (like mine).

So, my question is: is there a way to apply meta’s dark theme to my site? Am I missing something obvious? Do I have to manually fiddle with the colors in a new color scheme? If so, is there a place that lists the colors you guys used for the darkness? Was there any custom css that I’d need to add?
