Why Candela

  • Built for tired eyes — low-glare backgrounds (never pure white or black) and desaturated accents that resist visual fringing.
  • Readable by design — every syntax and UI color clears WCAG-AA contrast; primary text clears AAA.
  • One palette everywhere — the same colors in your editor and your terminal.
  • A whole family — light schemes for every room, plus dark companions, all from one coordinated, curated set.
