Built for Developers
Semantic highlighting — variables, parameters, types, and functions each get a distinct, meaningful color
Full terminal support — all 16 ANSI colors tuned per theme, so your terminal feels native
Language coverage — Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, C/C++, HTML/CSS, Markdown and more
Palette-driven architecture — every theme is generated from typed color tokens, not hand-written JSON
Validated automatically — contrast ratios and saturation limits are enforced on every build
Open source — inspect, fork, or contribute on GitHub
Design Philosophy
No pure white (#FFFFFF), no pure black (#000000), no neon
Foreground contrast between 4.5:1 and 10:1 — sharp enough to read, soft enough for late nights
Comments intentionally quieter so code stays the visual focus
OLED-friendly backgrounds throughout — conserves battery and reduces glare
