Manjulika Ember Theme

Deep sindoor reds and warm temple ambers for a classic, moody coding vibe.

A dark theme inspired by Indian temples and rituals—rich reds, warm golds, and soft ambers create a powerful, haunting presence perfect for focused coding.

Features

✨ All-Yellow Typography – All code text renders in warm amber (#e2b35b) for a unified, cohesive look
🔥 Deep Ember Base – Dark background (#0b0807) reduces eye strain while keeping the theme vibrant
🎨 Classic Aesthetic – Warm reds and golds reminiscent of traditional ceremonies
💬 Semantic Highlights – Comments in muted sepia for subtle distinction
