SakuraSmith Themes — Sakura Night and Sakura Light

Two cherry-blossom color themes for Visual Studio, for the whole IDE and the code editor. Sakura Night is an evening under the blossoms; Sakura Light is white petals in spring sun. Petal pink, matcha and spring sky — for the whole season, and comfortable for a full working day.

Free. Forever. No subscriptions, no "pro" version, no data collection, no messages at startup. There is no code inside, only colors — so it never asks for anything, not even a rating.

Sakura Night

Keywords are pink petals, types matcha, strings the spring sky, numbers apricot, methods wisteria; comments are dusk. The status bar is sakura pink — matcha while you debug.

Sakura Light

Cherry keywords, matcha types, sky-ink strings, apricot numbers and wisteria methods on petal white.

Made for coding

• The main syntax colors have a contrast of at least 4.9:1 with the background.
• The pink of the keywords is soft and the error squiggle a hot coral red, so errors never hide among the petals; warnings are amber, messages blue.
• Selection, current line, find highlight, highlighted references and brace matching all have their own clear colors.
• C# and Visual Basic get every color (methods, parameters, interfaces, type parameters); other languages use the shared ones.

Turn it on

Visual Studio 2026: Tools › Theme › Sakura Night (or Sakura Light), and keep Tools › Editor Appearance on Match Theme — otherwise the editor keeps the usual colors.

Visual Studio 2022: Tools › Options › Environment › General › Color Theme.

Colors you changed yourself in Fonts and Colors stay on top of any theme.
