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.
- Unified Interface: A consistent
#101010background 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:
