Australis Dark - VS Code Theme

Easy on the eyes. Serenity for the mind.

Australis Dark Color Theme

The Australis Dark color theme is inspired by the Southern Lights: The Aurora Australis

It is designed to be medium contrast and easy on the eyes as well as having an aesthetic appeal.

It is based on the following design criteria:

• All colors are cooler than neutral.
• With the exception of black, white and yellow, ANSI terminal colors have a perceived lab lightness of 65. Bright variants have a lab lightness of 80.
• As neutral colors get brighter, they shift slightly towards green while maintaining the overall cool blue temperature. This is a design decision to give it an antactic ocean aurora theme.
• Overall contrast is medium to medium high to maintain eye comfort.
