Task

Define Base Dark Mode Color Palette in Tailwind Configuration

2. Color Token Structure

   dark: {
     background: {
       DEFAULT: '#121212',     // Deep dark background
       secondary: '#1E1E1E',   // Secondary areas
       tertiary: '#2C2C2C'     // Tertiary elements
     },
     text: {
       primary: '#E0E0E0',     // Primary text
       secondary: '#A0A0A0',   // Secondary text
       muted: '#6E6E6E'        // Subtle text
     },
     // ... other semantic tokens
   }
