A warm, analog-inspired color scheme for Visual Studio Code, based on Flexoki by Steph Ango.
About Flexoki
Flexoki is an inky color scheme designed for reading and writing on digital screens. Inspired by analog inks and warm paper shades, it creates a distinctive yet familiar palette that feels like "pigment on paper."
Key Features
📚 Optimized for Reading & Writing - Calibrated for legibility across different devices and screen types
🎨 Analog-Inspired Colors - Warm tones that emulate the feeling of ink on paper
🌓 Seamless Light Mode - Designed primarily for light themes with high contrast
🎯 Perceptually Balanced - Uses Oklab color space for optimal color relationships

Color Philosophy
The Flexoki palette consists of:
Base Colors: Warm monochromatic values from background to text
Accent Colors: 8 carefully selected colors for syntax highlighting
Extended Range: Multiple intensity levels for each color (50-950 values)
Each color is designed to feel distinctive yet familiar, creating a cohesive experience that reduces eye strain during long coding sessions.
