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
