A warm palette of plum, velvet mauve and dusty rose with coordinated Light and Dark variants — made for calm, focused coding.
Features
Two coordinated variants — Plum Velvet Theme Light and Plum Velvet Theme Dark share the same hue family, so switching between them never feels jarring.
Soft, readable syntax highlighting — keywords, strings, functions and types each get a gentle, readable tint instead of harsh primaries.
Tuned UI — editor, side bar, activity bar, status bar and terminal follow one serene plum / mauve / rose scheme.
Semantic highlighting — classes, interfaces, functions and parameters are color-coded for quick scanning.
Matching terminal palette — a coordinated 16-color ANSI theme keeps the integrated terminal in harmony with the editor.
