Light Theme for Color Blind People

This is a VSCode color theme for partially color-blind people.

The actual coloring follows these guidelines:

  • Do not use many colors
    • As the number of color increases, it gets harder and harder to distinguish them instantly.
  • Do not use vague colors
    • Vague colors are also hard to distinguish.
  • Use blue (#0000FF) for keywords-like values
    • In addition to strict reserved keywords such as if and function, keyword-ish values can be blue. For example, in HTML, tag names should be blue since they are the most keyword-ish values in typical HTML files.
  • Use red (#FF0000) for literal-like values
    • As blues could be used for non-strict keyword values, red could be used for non-strict literal values as well.
  • Use grey for comments
  • Use black (#000000) as the default foreground color
  • Use white (#FFFFFF) as the default background color
  • Make chunks of colors
    • Large chunk of a color is easier to distinguish than a single character with the same color applied.
  • Never use green
    • For most partially color-blind people, green and red are the most conflicting pair.
