In light appearance, Link resolves to #007AFF. In dark appearance, it resolves to #007AFF.
How does tvOS color rendering differ for the 10-foot experience?
tvOS colors are calibrated for high-contrast living room television viewing, ensuring clarity across distant screens and HDR displays.
Does tvOS Link adapt to system appearance changes?
Yes, Apple TV system colors automatically adjust to light or dark appearance settings in tvOS.
