Monotone Blues with Green Splashed

Screenshot of CobaltTrue on VSCode.

Based on Nautical Color Palette

Originally, I had gone with a purple, blue & teal palette. After a while it was looking more like the infamous NightOwl and that wasn't my goal.

I wanted something that was more reliant on contrast than color. I've been a big champion of Dark+, but frankly it was a bit too bright and the color scheme was something to be desired.

The objective of this theme was to deliver a subdued 'monotone' blue[]centric dark theme for us night coders.

ON THE HORIZON:

  • [ ] Further testing to solidify color themeing
  • [ ] Investigate color theme for file formats related to data structure/content (i.e. .json, .md, .bson, etc.)
  • [ ] Investigate color theme for other languages
  • [ ] Consider parethesis recolor and priority contrast
  • [ ] Night vs Day use, impacts/ease of use/readability/eye strain
  • [ ] Testing impact of 'monotone' use of similar hues
  • [ ] Color Themeing for GitHub source changes and file modifications
  • [ ] Themeing for error handling and CSS structure
  • [ ] A11y compliancy checks

This is still a work in progress. Theme optimized for python development only (as of 5/9/23). Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions about the theme. This is my first hand at developing a color theme.
