Velvet Dusk

A dark theme built for long coding sessions — soft on the eyes, easy on the mind.

Designed around a dark blue-gray background with a carefully muted palette where every token category has its own distinct hue, so you can read code structure at a glance without eye strain.

Features

  • Hue-based token separation — each token category lives in its own color family, not just a different shade of the same color
  • Semantic highlighting — TypeScript and Python LSPs contribute extra precision: const variables in gold, readonly properties, self/cls in italic
  • GitLens — inline blame styled to blend with the background, visible when you want it
  • Bracket pair colors — 6 colors drawn from the theme palette
  • CSS in HTML — selectors, properties, values, custom properties, and at-rules each get a distinct color
  • Python — decorators, built-ins, f-strings, lambda, type hints all covered

Languages tested

TypeScript · React (TSX) · Python · HTML · CSS · JSON · Markdown
