Color Palette and Highlighting Semantics

Palette Variants

The color scheme contains two major color palettes: dark and light.

Each color palette is composed of two sub-palettes: palette1 for background colors, and palette2 for foreground colors.

Background colors come in three flavours based on their contrast: hard, medium (default) and low.

The semantics of each color in the context of syntax highlighting is described in Highlights.

The color values in the table below correspond to the dark variant of the color scheme with the default medium contrast. The semantics of color identifiers, however, apply uniformly to all Palette Variants and contrast settings.
