Each mode includes a group of colors that look calm and enhance the user interaction on the UI. Visual hierarchy is enabled by indicating the background elements that are not in focus at the moment using dark colors. Whereas the currently focused task and the surface are highlighted in a light color, thus making it more prominent on the UI.

To provide an amazing and awesome visual effects, Windows 11 has used three types of materials in the UI. Acrylic is used to highlight transient surfaces on the background like flyouts and menus. Mica is used in surfaces that are tinted with the desktop background. Smoke is used to dim the background UI elements when a modal dialog is opened on the top.
