Color theme

Mystic color theme for Visual Studio Code

Tested with Haskell, PureScript, Idris, Clojure, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, HTML, CSS among others.

My theme is a result of years of experiments and adjustments and it's a color scheme I use everyday.

Example

Principles

• Main principle - pleasant and not tiring to eyes
• Dark theme - personal preference
• Medium contrast - to reduce eye's fatigue but stays clear
• Medium color saturation - for a pleasant look
• Grey-bluish background - neutral but pleasant look
• Extensive use of green and yellow to red range for syntax - warm but non-intrusive
• String and numeric literals with a very different color - blue and vivid green respectively
• Punctuation marks, operators and keywords easily distinguishable - red
• Types easily distinguishable from values - green vs pale yellow
• Gutters, frames, highlights in a very neutral and low contrast color - for low distraction
• Comments in pure grey to emphasise syntactic insignificance

Inspiration

• Background - from Atari Basic / Amos Basic / Turbo Pascal (but strongly neutralized towards grey)
• Color palette - very loosely inspired by Groovebox family
• Principled approach - Solarized dark
