Deep Focus Blue

A carefully designed dark blue theme optimized for deep concentration and reduced eye strain.

Philosophy

This theme is based on a color combination discovered to enhance focus during extended reading sessions:

  • Text: #dde1e6 (Light Steel Blue)
  • Background: #071c30 (Deep Navy)

Why This Works

  1. Moderate Contrast Ratio (~13:1)

    • Avoids the harsh glare of pure white on black
    • Maintains readability without straining your eyes
  2. Blue Color Harmony

    • Both colors share the same blue hue
    • Creates visual coherence that reduces cognitive load
    • Blue is scientifically associated with calm focus
  3. Low Saturation

    • Muted, grayish tones minimize visual noise
    • Allows content to stand out without distraction
  4. Dark Mode Benefits

    • Reduces screen light emission
    • Suitable for extended coding sessions and low-light environments

Acknowledgments

This theme uses syntax highlighting colors from the excellent Night Owl theme by Sarah Drasner. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and well-designed color scheme!
