Pitch Black Modern

Pitch Black is a refined dark theme for Visual Studio Code designed for focus and readability. It features a unified #101010 background to reduce eye strain, paired with a carefully balanced color palette that makes code syntax easy to scan without unnecessary visual clutter.

Features

• Unified Interface: A consistent #101010 background across the editor, terminal, activity bar, and sidebars.
• Subtle UI Accents: Active tabs and elements are highlighted in a soft Lilac (#C699FF), while inactive elements blend naturally into the background.
• Clean Syntax Highlighting:
  • White (#FFFFFF): Variables and plain text.
  • Lilac (#C699FF): Functions, classes, HTML tags, and JSON keys.
  • Cyan (#99FFE4): Strings, inherited classes, and symbols.
  • Slate (#A0A0A0): Keywords, operators, and punctuation.
  • Magenta (#E580FF): Errors, invalid syntax, and deleted code.
  • Muted Gray (#8B8B8B): Comments.
