Helion - A Dark Theme for Visual Studio

Helion is a WCAG-compliant mid-contrast color palette inspired by Solarized, as well as colors that faded away — pigments whose manufacture have been lost or replaced, either due to hard-to-find materials or, more often, toxicity.

This extension runs best on Visual Studio 2026.

This is a reimplementation of my existing VS Code theme of the same name.

Due to Visual Studio's many fun quirks and choices, there may be areas that are incompletely themed. If you spot something or want to contribute, please open an issue or PR.
