Seoul Dark Theme for VS Code

A specialized color scheme for VS Code, strictly following the traditional Korean colors from palette.json, designed for maximum eye protection and long-term readability.

🌿 Philosophy: Pure Visual Comfort

This theme is NOT a port of any other scheme. It is built from the ground up using the provided palette.json to create a warm, organic, and low-contrast environment.

Key Visual Goals:

  1. Zero Eye Strain: Using muted tones like 석간주색 and 치색 to avoid high-frequency visual fatigue.
  2. Warmth: Utilizing 소색 (#d8c8b2) as the primary foreground instead of pure white or blue-tinted greys.
  3. Harmonious Contrast: Ensuring syntax elements are distinguishable without being "loud".

🎨 Palette Mapping (Strict palette.json)

Element Palette Name Hex Rationale
Background 흑백 #1d1e23 Deep, calming dark base.
Foreground 소색 #d8c8b2 Warm, non-glaring text color.
Keywords 석간주색 #8a4c44 Muted earthy red for structural visibility.
Strings 유황색 #ebbc6b Gentle yellow-orange for clear separation.
Functions 벽람색 #6979bb Soft blue for logical clarity.
Comments 치색 #616264 Subdued but legible for context.
Types 흑홍색 #8e6f80 Muted purple-grey for semantic groupings.

🚀 Future Plan

Short-term

  • [ ] Language-specific tuning (JSON, MD, TS, PHP, GO).
  • [ ] Improved Git diff coloring (using 비색 for additions, 적토색 for deletions).
  • [ ] Finalizing Workbench UI (Menus, Input fields).

Long-term

  • [ ] Seoul Light: A version for well-lit environments.
  • [ ] Extension settings for "Comfort Mode" vs "Focus Mode".
  • [ ] Interactive palette explorer within VS Code.
