Monochrome Dew

A dark VS Code theme that extends Monochrome Dark with restrained blue and pink-gray accents — like morning dew on a gray stone.

Preview

Design

Three color families on a near-black base (#18181c):

Both accent families sit at ~15% saturation, reading as "tinted gray" rather than color — quiet semantic hints, not decoration.

Language Support

Fine-grained scope rules and semantic token colors for:

• C# — LINQ, attributes, XML doc comments, access modifier tiers
• C++ — templates, constexpr hierarchy, operator overloads, preprocessor
• Rust — traits, lifetimes, macros, unsafe, mutable variable distinction
• Python — decorators, f-strings, docstrings, self/cls, type hints
• Markdown — H1-H6 blue hierarchy, dimmed markers
• JSON / TOML / YAML — key vs. value separation
• HTML / CSS — tag/attribute/property tiers
