🎯 Design Principles
Color Consistency
All file formats follow the same key-value color relationship:
Configuration files (JSON, YAML, TOML)
Stylesheets (CSS, SCSS, LESS)
Markup languages (HTML, XML, JSX)
Visual Hierarchy
Primary elements (keywords, types): Distinct bright colors
Secondary elements (operators, punctuation): Muted colors
