This custom VS Code color theme is a cross between two of my personal favorite themes: Darcula and Nord Aurora.

My theme has been created with the following principles in mind:

  • Backgrounds should ideally be 100% neutral. ⚖️
  • Colors should belong to one cohesive, pleasing pallete. 🎨
  • Color usage should stay purposeful and functional. 🛠️
  • Red should be reserved to indicate errors. 🚫
  • Medium contrast and brightness to help reduce eyestrain. 👀


Enjoy!
