Design

This color scheme is an implementation of the Kwezal Essential Color Palette for syntax highlighting.

Apart from the use of a specific color palette, the Kwezal Vibrant Color Scheme was designed according to the following ideas:

• The color scheme should not only be visually appealing but also increase productivity.
• As much information as possible should be conveyed by as few colors as possible.
• Similar language constructs (e.g., classes, structs, interfaces, traits) should have similar colors.
• Errors and warnings should be annoying but not glaring.
• Unsafe and error-prone code (e.g., unresolvable references) should be as conspicuous as warnings or errors.
• Identifiers under the caret should be as eye-catching as search results.
• Coloring should be consistent across all languages.

Attributes

All attribute changes from the Islands Dark are documented, along with a highlighting demonstration. Below is a sample highlighting for Java:
