Seven original color themes by theCode - the developer-aesthetics studio. Every palette was similarity-checked against 42 known themes, so none of them is a re-skin.
| Theme | Mood |
|---|---|
| afterimage (dark) | CRT heritage: near-monochrome greens with amber and orange reserved for warnings. |
| cyanotype (dark) | Engineering drawings: near-monochrome blueprint blues with one red pencil and one annotation gold. |
| overprint (dark) | The press palette: pure C, M, Y as primaries with their two-ink mixes as secondaries, on key black. |
| punchcard (light) | The light theme: manila card stock and vintage ledger inks - a vintage-computing story rather than a modern-ink one. |
| solder (dark) | PCB green with copper, gold and tin for the metals and one probe-red. Hardware nostalgia without the CRT cliché. |
| spectrum (dark) | The crowd-pleaser: a full-hue daily-driver, green-first and saturated well past the muted-pastel zone where One Dark and Nightfox live. |
| warmboot (dark) | Amber-glass warmth: golds and rusts with dusty plum and steel blue carrying the cool roles, on an espresso ground. |
