Living Code

Calm slate. Living color.
A color scheme where the background stays quiet and the code comes alive.
For editors, terminals, browsers and the web.

Flavors

Four flavors share one slate foundation and the same semantic roles, so a keyword, a string or an error looks the same in your editor, terminal and browser.

Living Code Night
#05080b #00a692 Night
The default. Dark slate, teal structure, green strings, amber warnings and copper numbers. 		Living Code Frost
#0a1016 #43a997 Frost
A lifted, bluer slate with a third less chroma. Calmer for long sessions.
Living Code Paper
#f4f7f9 #187d6e Paper
Daylight. Near-white slate, with every syntax color kept at WCAG AA contrast. 		Living Code Signal
#05080b #00a692 Signal
Night with a single accent. Teal marks keywords and focus; everything else stays slate.

Design

  • The ground stays calm. Backgrounds, panels, selections and comments live on one slate ramp, so the eye goes to the code, not the chrome.
  • Cool for structure, warm for data. #00a692 Teal, aqua and steel mark keywords, functions and types; #8acb83 moss, #f0be6d amber and #e18c5f copper mark strings, numbers and warnings.
  • Built in OKLCH. Every color is defined in OKLCH, and every text color is checked for WCAG AA contrast against its flavor's background.
