An optimized theme for web development that comes with two versions: light & dark.
Coldark is a gray-blue theme. The colors used respect the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) in order to provide sufficient reading comfort. However, with opacity, it is possible that some contrasts are diminished and that they are above level AA.
This Coldark version is designed for Prism.js.
Coldark consists of three color palettes. The first is common to both versions. The other two each apply to a version.
The Prism version uses almost the same colors as VS code version. The tokens used by Prism are a little different and a little less complete, hence the difference.
