A calm, clean, zen-inspired color theme for Visual Studio Code, built especially for the Luau workflow in mind. Two variants included:
Zen Theme — dark pastel on cool charcoal-slate
Zen Theme Light — light pastel on cool mist
Features
Pastel accents tuned for readability: every color is WCAG-contrast-checked against its background (all dark accents ≥ 8:1, all light accents ≥ 4.5:1)
Clean, grouped syntax highlighting — comments stay quiet, structural parts (keywords, operators) pop, and each semantic role (strings, numbers, functions, types) owns a single accent
Flat + bordered workbench: crisp borders between activity bar, sidebar, editor, panel and status bar, no glows, no noisy shadows
Semantic token colors included so Luau LSP / language servers render consistently
