✨ About

Irul means darkness.
Neelam represents deep blue.

Irul Theme – Neelam blends a rich navy base with vibrant yet controlled accents to create a theme that feels:

• Calm
• Modern
• High contrast
• Easy on the eyes
• Professional across languages

It is built for developers who spend long hours in their editor and care about visual hierarchy.

🎨 Design Philosophy

Neelam is built around semantic clarity, not just color variety.

Core principles:

• 🔹 Deep navy foundation for reduced glare
• 🟢 Clear keyword distinction
• 🔵 Crisp function highlighting
• 🟣 Controlled accent usage
• 🟡 Warm but refined string highlighting
• ⚖️ Balanced contrast for long sessions

The goal is readability first, personality second — without sacrificing either.
