Fiesta Dark — Visual Studio Code Theme

A dark, minimalistic theme inspired by the San Antonio Spurs Fiesta tricolor identity (1989–2002, revived 2020–21 and 2025–26 City Edition).

Design principle: The IDE chrome stays neutral grayscale. The Fiesta tricolor lives exclusively in the code — pink keywords, turquoise functions/types, orange numbers/constants. The only Fiesta touch in the UI is a thin pink line under the active editor tab and the cursor.

9 variations of the Fiesta palette

Every variant is a remix of the same three Fiesta colors — pink, turquoise, and orange — and their close cousins (coral, peach, gold, mint, rose). What changes between variants is which color leads, how saturated everything is, and the background depth. Every variant meets WCAG AA (4.5:1) on every syntax token; High Contrast is mostly AAA.

Variant	Vibe	Primary	Secondary	Accent
Fiesta Dark	Classic balanced tricolor	`#F9386A`	`#00B3B8`	`#F99F1C`
Pink	Pink leads — keywords AND functions both pink	`#F9386A`	`#FF8FA8`	`#F99F1C`
Turquoise	Turquoise leads — keywords AND functions both teal/mint	`#00B3B8`	`#5EEAD4`	`#F99F1C`
Sunset	Orange leads, pink functions, gold numbers	`#FB923C`	`#F9386A`	`#FCD34D`
Inverted	Classic with pink ↔ turquoise role-swap	`#00B3B8`	`#F9386A`	`#F99F1C`
Vivid	Boosted saturation of the classic tricolor	`#FF5C8A`	`#00E5EA`	`#FFB840`
Coral	Warm pink-orange — coral, peach, gold	`#FF6F8F`	`#FFB347`	`#FCD34D`
High Contrast	Pure-black BG, white FG, boosted accents (AAA)	`#FF5C8A`	`#00E5EA`	`#FFB840`
AMOLED	Pure-black BG, classic Fiesta tricolor	`#F9386A`	`#00B3B8`	`#F99F1C`

Switch variants in Settings → Color Theme (or Ctrl+K Ctrl+T).

WCAG contrast — all variants

Each accent against its variant's editor background. Every value ≥ 4.5:1 (AA); ≥ 7.0:1 is AAA.

Variant	Primary	Secondary	Accent	String	Default FG	Comments
Fiesta Dark	4.8	6.8	8.3	12.7	11.7	4.7
Pink	4.8	8.1	8.3	12.7	11.7	4.7
Turquoise	6.8	11.8	8.3	12.7	11.7	4.7
Sunset	7.7	4.8	12.1	12.9	11.7	4.7
Inverted	6.8	4.8	8.3	12.7	11.7	4.7
Vivid	5.9	11.1	10.1	14.1	11.7	4.7
Coral	6.6	9.8	12.1	12.9	11.7	4.7
High Contrast	7.2	13.4	12.2	17.0	21.0	8.0
AMOLED	5.8	8.1	10.0	15.3	14.2	5.7

Diagnostic colors (error/warning/info/success) stay conventional red/yellow/blue/green across all variants, so meaning is preserved for color-blind users (deuteranopia, protanopia).
