A warm, dichromatic VS Code theme by Backtier Labs. Two hue families, oat (warm tan) and mulberry (warm purple-brown), on a creamy oat canvas. Cozy, earthy, and easy on the eyes.

Design
The palette stays entirely within the warm spectrum - no cool neutrals, no blue-grays. The result is a cohesive, low-distraction editing environment that feels warm without sacrificing readability.
Three visual zones:
| Zone | Color | Elements |
|---|---|---|
| Editor | Oat #FDF8EC |
Main text area, gutter, minimap |
| Chrome | Oat #FAF1DE |
Sidebar, tabs, activity bar, panel, terminal |
| Anchors | Mulberry #4E2934 |
Title bar (top) + status bar (bottom) |
Palette
Oat ramp - surfaces, fills, and neutral text anchors sampled from the Backtier brand mark.
Mulberry ramp - warm purple-brown accent for interactive elements, keywords, functions, parameters, and primary syntax hierarchy.
Claret (#8C3F5D) - a distinct second accent, reserved exclusively for class, type, interface, and namespace names.
Semantic colors - sage (strings/success), brick (errors/regex), honey (warnings UI only), slate (info/diff).
