A coffee-inspired colour theme family for VS Code — espresso browns, latte-foam backgrounds, and dusty pastel accents. Three roasts, one pot.
The roasts
☕ Dark Roast — warm · darkest · bold
A deep, near-black espresso background with saturated amber, rose, and lavender accents that really pop.
☕ Mocha — warm · dark · bold
The same bold beans on a rich, softer coffee background.
☕ Flat White — muted · subtle · light
Soft foam backgrounds with gently desaturated pastels; low-contrast and easy on the eyes.

All three share the same beans — rose, sage, amber, lavender, caramel — so they read as one family. Bracket-pair colours, inlay hints, and terminal ANSI are all tuned to match.
