The goal: for it to be easy on the eyes, while showcasing what’s important. For those of us that spend countless hours in Atom, let’s ensure we’re not causing extra eye strain.

The vibrancy of the color scheme has been chosen to make those id’s, classes, variables, etc. stand out effectively, while ensuring you don’t have to strain to parse through code.

Crisp, vibrant colors, balanced by dark a background and gutter.

Compatible with/built in Atom 1.14.4

Colors Used - hex codes, without the #222 bg-color

This pink (#ff99ff) color.

This orange (#ff9922) color.

This blue (#66ccff) color.

This green (#99cc66) color.

This red (#ff7777) color.

This grey (#cdcdcd) color.

And for the text editor’s background-color: #222222 and other colors as well.

Here’s a photo of CSS file, with this Atom syntax theme activated:

Font used in screenshots: Fira Mono

Kinda easy on the 👀 in my opinion.

Yes, the name is a Bon Iver reference
