About VSCode Paradise

VSCode Paradise is a port of the Paradise color palette by Manas140 to Visual Studio Code. It features a sleek, modern design that puts the focus on your code instead of the editor. Its muted colors help to keep the syntax readable without looking flashy or distracting.

VSCode Paradise also comes with a light theme, with slightly different colors to look more saturated on a white background, giving you the option to enjoy the color scheme in your preferred style.
