Dark Modern Neue (High Contrast) — Full saturation Tailwind-based colors. Electric indigo, fuchsia, sky, and emerald with strong chromatic separation. Built for maximum token differentiation.

Dark Modern Neue (Minimal) — Near-monochrome neutral scale with a single teal accent (#7DCFCA) for strings. Keywords are darker than identifiers — the code reads through content, not syntax.
