Cyanotype — Sun-printed blue, tea-toned brown and cotton paper

Three themes in one extension: Cyanotype Prussian, Cyanotype Tea, Cyanotype Paper. Cyanotype is the old sun-print: paper brushed with iron salts, laid under the sky, washed to Prussian blue, sometimes toned brown in tea. Keywords take the orange of the ferricyanide crystals, strings the yellow-green of the citrate, numbers the wash cyan, types the violet of an over-exposed edge. Grounds are print blue, tannin brown or cotton rag, never pure black, and every syntax colour clears WCAG AA against them, so the glare stays low through long sessions.

Every colour in your code is measured against its background. Body text passes WCAG AAA, and every syntax colour passes AA, comments included.
